How to hide a folder without using software:
- First create a new folder somewhere on your hard drive
- When you name it hold down "Alt" and press "0160", this will create an invisible space so it will appear as if it has no name.
- Then right click the folder and select "Properties" then select the tab "customize" and select "change icon".
- Scroll along and you should a few blank spaces click on any one and click ok when you have saved the settings the folder will be invisible to hide all your personal files.
Remember the same happens if we press 255 instead of 0160.

hi Anil,
After creating a new folder ( as in step-1) , the name of the folder is set 'New Folder' by default.
Right click on the folder and select rename.This will make the name of the folder ready for editing.
Now,press ALT and simutaneously press 255 0r 0160(without leaving ALT button).
After typing the number leave ALT button. This will make the name space of the folder invisible.
For hiding icon do as suggested.
Hope it is clear now.
If it is still unclear , tell me i will explain further.

Hi Ketan,
Ya its true it can be seen and i agree it is not as efficient as hiding folders using softwares ...but still we have a method (without using software) which more or less solves our purpose if implemented effectively under certain conditions.
But as you said this method is not 100% effective.I agree and appreciate your concern.
