1. First of all create a new folder.

2. Now highlight the folder and Click rename . Hold the ‘Alt’ key and type in 0160. Press Enter. You’ll notice that the folder will have no name.

3.The final step is to change the icon in order to make it invisible. Right click on the folder and go to Properties > Customize > Change the icon > Select the blank one (there are about three of them, choose any one) > Ok.

Making Shortcuts invisible:

1. Highlight the icon and Click ‘F2?€? button to rename it. Hold the ‘Alt’ key and type in 0160. Press Enter. You’ll notice that the icon will have no name.

2. Right click on the shortcut and go to Properties > Shortcut > Change icon… > Select the blank one (there are about three of them, choose any one) > Ok.

Now unlike in folders you’ll notice that shortcuts have arrows which still don’t go off. You need to download a small tool- in order to remove it.

3. Download this software from here ( size:147KB) and install it.
ps : this is for xp users only (scroll down for vista users)


4. Now start the program and go to Explorer> Shortcut> Shortcut overlay.

5. Select the shortcut overlay to ‘None’ then click ‘Ok’

6. That’s it now you’ll find your shortcut icon invisible.

For vista do the same thing exactly but when u reach step 3
u have 2 download this file from this site instead

After u finish installing it , open it
