Making a Folder Invisible

A neat trick on how to hide your favorite folders without using the Hidden Function of the Folder Properties. As the title states, this post is a tweak - *scratch that! not really..* it's just some settings or mere properties reconfiguration to hide a folder from the naked eye :p there - *sounds better*. Anyways, first is to just label your folder with a space - how can you do that if "space" is considered a special character which Windows won't accept for a name, if you try using "space" as a name it will just label the folder "New Folder" - so how can you go on doing the name blank? simple, just use "Alt + 255" to print "space" as the name. First steps down, let's go on to the real deal, Right click the folder - select Properties - go to the Customize tab - then hit the Change Icon button on the bottom - look for the blank icon as shown in exhibit A.
A picture is indeed worth a thousand words
So that's it! now you see it, *kaching!* now you don't :D have fun!
