How to hide folder in windows without actually hidding it

This is not a high-tech geeky trick, it's just a short and simple trick. When each time you create a new folder in Windows, Microsoft has made “New Folder” as the default name. Even you enter the spacebar so many times to create blank spaces, it still will generate the “New Folder” text like this.

So first we will delete the name of the file, after which it will looks like this.

To do this, you need a keyboard with numpad.
1) Create a new folder in your specified directory.
2) rename the folder or file by pressing F2 key or Right Click -> Rename.
3) Now hold ALT button and press 0160 ( or 255) using numpad keys.
4) Hit Enter then you are successfully creating a folder without name in Windows XP.

Here half of our work is done i.e. text is deleted now we will hide icon, to hide icon:
1) Right Click on folder -> properties
2) Click Customize tab -> Change Icon...
3) Choose invisible icon then press OK and close properties window

Tada!!!
