Have you ever wondered, how can you make a folder invisible without even using any kind of softwares in windows XP?
Well, here is the answer to that. It is very much possible and Windows will help us in doing this.
How? Lets see the answer
1. Create any new Folder.
2. Right click and go to Rename, remove the content, press “Alt†and type “0160″. The Folder name would become NIL.
3. Now go on to the properties of the folder and click “Customizeâ€ÂÂ, and click “Change Iconâ€ÂÂ.
4. Here you will find some icons without any kind of images.
5. Select any of these images and click “OKâ€ÂÂ. You will now see that your folder is now invisible.
If you will select it then it will be shown like this.
But in a normal manner when you will open your Drive/Folder, it will be Invisible.

Hello Dear
I make changes according to u but the folder name is visiable as 160, can u please tell me why its happend, When i press ALt + type 0160 Ok press OK, there is a message You must type a name, and When i press Alt then leave the key and type 0160 the folder name is " 160" and is visible. Waiting for u reply. Take Care. Bye
Re: Hello Dear
Because when we write numerics with Alt key combination this no more character for computer this is ASCII code. A symbolic language for computer and Alt+0160 is ASCII code for blank space .
