[TUT] How To make Invisable Folder - Simple.

[AceInfinity]

True, but if you're actually trying to hide something I'd feel a lot safer having it actually hidden.

This is for multiple users on a computer, if you're not using multiple users, or if someone looks at your computer while you have your machine on, and unattended, they won't see it because there is no name, and no icon, but you can click it. With hidden folders, the folder icon is still faint, it doesn't hide it in the same way you are thinking, unless you were to change your folder options back to not being able to view hidden folders every time you left your computer.

With this tutorial, i've known this trick for a while actually too.. But in this tutorial, only when you hover over the invisible icon, will the folder highlight, so I have one folder like this in the absolute top right area of my desktop so that the chances of someone hovering over it are less

Or if you have your computer set to "Windows Classic" Mode, then nothing will highlight, but if you double click on the spot where the folder is, it will open.

I find it useful, but deleting the folder after the fact can be a pain later on.
