Alright so in this tutorial, we’re going to be seeing a new way of hiding your folders and making them invisible. So, what you’re going to do is go to the folder that you want to make invisible and rename it. Then hold the alt key on your keyboard and type in 0160 on your numpad and let go off the alt key and then hit enter. That removes the name from the folder.
Now, we have to get rid of this icon so right click, choose properties in the dropdown menu. Sorry about that, and once the window opens up go to the customize tab towards the top and on the bottom, click on change icon. Then scroll to the right until you find this little gap window icon display. So, choose anyone of them, hit okay, hit apply, and okay again. Then that removes the folder icon from there but the folder still exists.
So, if you double click on that, all files contained in the folder will still be there except it’s completely invisible. Now say for instance you lose track of the location of this invisible folder, just simply hit Ctrl+A on your keyboard and it should get highlighted right there. So, you can only access the folder if you know the exact location.
That was a quick tweak, if you have any question please email me at support@geekcompnerds.tk. Visit my website at geekcompnerd.tk and join in the forums at forums-geekcompnerd.tk. Please rate, comment and subscribe in order to support these videos and thank you for watching.
