folder with no name???

[ravidawar]

hey guys..is thr any way to create a folder having no name in win xp?????

 

[uzair]

First tel me why do u need a folder without a name???

Names are there to identify a folder contents,..

I presume u wanna hide stuff.. you can do a small registry hack to avoid showing folders u wish not to be visible to everyone..

 

[blueshift]

Create a new folder. Try the ALT+255 combination during renaming folders.

U can make it i suppose... something to do with changing the name to <space> via <cmd>. Used to do it long time back. Bhool gaya. Searchin online. 'll tell if i get it. Mayb other's know.

But there used 2 b a method. No doubt.

ya... blueshift did it. I was tryin to do the same with Alt+32, the other <space> character code.

But i suppose, there is some problem with the method. I used to do it to prevent access to the folder. Can't remember the method though.

 

[blueshift]

What you want to do koolbluez? That method will only rename the folders name to nothing.

 

[jainshubhanyu]

ok folder created. Now how to delete ? Standard methods not working. right click delete, shift delte, nothing appears to work.

 

[blueshift]

What? Which OS u use?
It works perfectly here.

 

[jainshubhanyu]

Vista RTM ..

 

[blueshift]

ok. I use WinXP.
Sorry can't help you.

 

[jainshubhanyu]

How do you delet it in XP ?

 

[rahul_becks23]

delete the folder in cmd .

 

[jainshubhanyu]

Alright I got it how to delete in Vista.

 

[koolbluez]

I was goin to say that some prob happens... u see, i did it sometime back.

Ok... but when i tried it on my Win XP SP2 it worked fine & I got it deleted. How come I didn't face ur prob. Maybe it's the SP2... jainshubhanyu?
Anyway, How didja do it?
DOS... rename the file & delete the renamed one. I suppose that'll work.

 

[rahul_becks23]

maybe he deleted in dos...cuz its possible that way

 

[blueshift]

[rahul_becks23]

LOL, looks like he wanna hide that *private content* all guys have on HDD

1. Make a New Folder
2. Rename it and while renaming press ALT and then 255. It will leave a blank character.
3. Select the folder and change its icon to "blank" icon
4. Enjoy!! No need of *magic folders* tool
