How to create an invisible folder: Instruction

How many people who use a computer or laptop and periodically ask a question about how to create an invisible folder? Of course, there are advantages to this solution. After all, each person has such files that he would not want to show everyone. And they could be stored in a certain directory, and the owner would not worry that someone will find them and look through them. In Windows 7, you can create invisible folders . And I want to tell you about how to do it.

Before I tell you about this, I would like to inform you how I found out about it myself. He told me this is one internet blogger. When he was sitting in front of the computer and surfing on Internet resources, he "stumbled" into one entertaining video. It was called "Putin's Secret Folder". So, after watching this friend wanted to do it himself. When he did all the instructions, he did it. Invisible folders appeared on the desktop. Windows 7 was installed. Although the video viewed only one way, he told me about two. Therefore, I will also tell you about them all.

So, the first method. We will hide the folder using its properties. To do this, create a directory in the place where you would like it to be. You can even give it the name "Invisible". After that, click on it with the right mouse button and pay attention to its attributes. Opposite to the point of concealment, put a tick. We confirm your choice, and the folder disappears. Now your task is to make it visible and put the necessary files there.

Half the work is done, how to create an invisible folder you know. Next, you should open any directory where you will find a tab called "Service". We go there and click on "Folder Options". There you select the "View" link, then go down to the bottom of the list and find the "Hidden files" item. Check the box "Show", and you will see your catalog, and if you check the box next to "Do not show" - the folder will disappear again. The procedure for hiding the catalog is completed in the first way.

Now go to the second method, how to create an invisible folder. Its essence lies in the fact that we will not hide anything. Our task is to transform it in such a way that others will not see it. So, as in the first method, we will create a new directory, but we will not name it in any way. Instead of entering the name, hold down the ALT key and enter 255. Now it's a directory with no name. Next, go to the properties section with our right button. Go to the settings tab and activate the icon change section. After that, we look, where there is an empty icon and choose it. In the end, we confirm this with the "OK" key. The folder will disappear, and among others it will not be visible at all.

Now you know how to create an invisible folder. Just always keep in mind that someone can know both methods. Thus, the probability of your disclosure is small, but it does exist. Therefore, it is better to store valuable data in places that other people simply will not have access to. This is either a personal flash drive, or a removable hard drive. This method of storage will give you a high guarantee that no one will use your information for their own purposes.
