Ok now all ya guys flying in da air, so tell me if someone has renamed a folder with a special character and you need to open it (for further scrutiny or just for checking what is he/she upto) how will you do it. There is a way to do it in under 5 secs. Now tell me how to do it. If anyone knows this I will surely rep him.

P.S. :- No older member is allowed to reply coz I had given this info out once. This is really good command and I'm not gonna give this one out so u guys only need to rack your brains.

If anyone is offended, am sorry but I dun wanna showoff k.

Just select a folder press f2 to rename it now press the alt + any number .
This will make an ASCII key.for e.g alt +12 = ♀ ,etc alt + 9 =○

Ok siddharth forgive me I wasnt clear out here. In any NT based systems the above renaming trick doesnt make the folder unaccessible. But in Win 98 it used to work like a charm, as in you culdnt rename it or do anything to it. Its properties would yield something wierd and it wouldnt open up too. So my question actually was if you are stuck in dos and u need to rename it, u have no tools to guess the character how wud u do it ? In XP anywayws the folder gets opened. Am sorry but I am kinda old school when it comes to windows so thats y I rely more on dos rather than Windows.

He explained how to hide it, but did not explain how to get it back. Most of us will figure out easily, and this is old stuff, but for those who can't??
