How to make a hidden folder in Desktop
It is one of the most interesting tricks of Windows 7, you can do it also in windows Xp but the process is little different, I will explain it later. To hide a folder without using Folder option in windows 7 is quite easy, what you need to do is create a folder rename it with a
blank character from Character map and after that change the folder icon with blank folder icon. Generally it is not used by users, because it can not hide your folder fully it remains on desktop but not visible until and unless one drag their mouse cursor on the desktop. Since it gets selected when we drag the mouse cursor on desktop it stands useless in hiding a folder. But you can use it as a prank and can show to your friends and have fun. I have learned this from one of my friends and want to share with you, hope you will like this.

The process has been discussed in the following segment
1) Create a New Folder
2) Go to Search program and files and search for Character map as shown bellow.
3) Select a Blank character then click select and then copy as shown in the following image.
4) Now rename the folder with the blank character you have copied in step 3, just right click on the folder and select rename and then press Ctrl+V.
5) Now you will see only the folder icon, so we have to hide the icon to make it a fully hidden folder, to do this right click on the folder then go to Customizeand then Change icon and select a blank folder icon as shown in the following image.
6) After selecting the Icon click Ok.
Thus this process makes a folder completely hidden without using Folder option.
