Hey guyz,

Today I am going to write a very nice tutorial that I hope you all will like. Ill show you how I hide my files in my college so that no one can find and edit them.

The trick is simple.

As you might have already know how to make a folder with no name using the Alt + 1060 trick. ( check the complete tutorial here)

So what we are going to do here is as follows

First make a folder with no name using the Alt + 1060 trick

Then Right Click the folder and goto properties (Ctrl+Enter – Geeky Shortcut :grin: )

Click on the customise tab (the trick starts from here)

Click on change icon.

Choose the invisible icon from the new window, you may fid that icon whe you scroll to the right side.
Select it and apply the changes

You have finally got an invisible folder, How cool is that :shock:

Proof Of Concept :

The folder is invisible since you have created a normal folder with no name, and then changed the icon to invisible one.

The folder can be seen when Select All(Ctrl+A) is function is used.

So, How was the tut…

Pleaseeeeeeee Comment…Thanks
