Q. I have four other Users on this computer and
I would like to Create a hidden folder that cannot be found real easy.
A. You can just make A Super Hidden Folder
You probably already know how to create just a plain hidden
folder. It is super easy, you just right click on the folder and
select Hidden then click Apply. The problem is that anyone with
access to the computer can easily turn on the Show Hidden
Files and Folders and then can easily see the folder you
created. Well here is a trick that will get around this problem and create a
invisible folder that has no text and no icon.
Please note: Once you create a Super Hidden
folder that it will be up to you to remember where you put it. I
suggest writing down the location in case you should ever forget
about where this folder is.
Right Click on the folder you want hidden, then
select Properties
Click on the Customize Tab (Note this
procedure also works on any icon, some icons do not let you
Customize. So, if you do not see a Customize tab, then you will have
to create a new folder and move the icon that you are trying to make
hidden into the newly created folder. Then you will make the folder
Super Hidden)
Click On the Change Icon
button
The Change Icon box will pop up with the
default Windows Icons (If it does not, then click on the Browse
button and navigate to your WINDOWS\system32 folder and then find
and choose SHELL32.dll then click OPEN
Then Scroll to the right and look for a blank
icon. Select the blank icon then click Ok.
Then Click Apply. And you should now have a
blank icon with only the text below it, like this:
Now to get rid of the text, follow this
procedure
How
to Remove the Text From An Icon
The result is a SUPER hidden
Folder:
In the screenshot, I have the
view settings on Thumbnails, which puts the grey box
around the folder. To remove that box, choose either the
Icon, Tiles or List from the View settings
