Rename Windows folder to Space (empty) or funny character

This is really interesting if you like to play with windows folders. I thought of a way to distract a folder from others. Classic way of doing this is make the folder hidden. It is already known by most of the users and it is no longer makes you distract.

I just want to make the folder invisible without making it hidden.

You can easily rename the folder to " " (space). You cannot rename a folder to space straight a way. You just right click the folder and select "rename" and get rid of the privious name and
you have to hold the ALT and type 255 in num pad(ALT + 255) . Finally press enter and your folder name will be changed to space.....

It is not over yet... Still folder icon shows up with the folder attached to a wired name (space).


No we want to get the folder icon away. Thats simple. Right click on the filder, go to "properties", Select Customize, Click "Change Icon". They have already thought about this, given three blank icons. I have no idea why this blank icons are there.

Select one of them and click Ok and then Apply it. Done. Your folder should be invisible.

Wait a minute...Still that blank line looks bad with other folders... Just double click on the Name and sort the folder list.
