    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 apper as if it has no name.Then right click and select "Properties". Select the tab "coustimize" and select "change icon". Scroll along and you should see a few blank spaces. Click on any one and click ok.

    There is no exact source for this one, though I am not the discoverer. I came across this when I was browsing a forum the name of which I couldn't recollect. Thank you for your compliment

    Hmm .... Home
    Tried it on my Laptop doesn't work :( ... Alt+0160 the numbers 0160 should be typed in numpad with numlock on then it works...It inserts a special character similar to space and a folder named "con " is created.

    You can also use

    ALT + 255 for the same function.
