If you want to hide your folders this trick will teach you how. Best of all, you won’t have to install any software or edit the registry. While this trick will hide a folder from anyone looking at your computer it is by no mean secure – it doesn’t stop anyone from accessing the folder. So don’t use this method if you want to prevent access to a folder full of sensitive files. And by-the-way: this tip works in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 – both 32bit and 64bit systems.<\/p>\n

Let’s make an invisible folder!<\/p>\n

Well, it’s not really missing, it’s still there and you can access it – and so can anyone else. But, maybe since it’s invisible they won’t think it’s there!<\/p>\n
