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.

Cool. Just follow the simple steps which is given below:
- First, download the Folder Colorizer software app. The download link is given below at the end of this post.
- During the installation of Folder Colorizer, it only asks for the administrator privileges in order to change the systems default folder colour.
- After you have installed this software app, there is no need to open the app manually.
- Select a single folder or else select many folders.
- Right Click on which you want to change the folders colour.
- Browse for "Colorize!".
- This application comes with 8 predefined colours in which you can choose and also it allows you to pick up further more colours. To do that, click on colors...
- Then name your defined colour and also dont forget to click on +Add color in order to add the users defined colour to the task and hence it becomes very handy when next time you want to change the folder colour.
- If you wish to reverse the colour, i.e., if you want to restore the system protected colour, then Right Click on the folder, choose "Colorize" and then do a click on Restore original color.
- Even if you have uninstalled the Folder Colorizer app, the custom colour of the folder wont get changed to default. So you need to manually restore the original colour of the folder by using this app only.
