The folder is unnamed on the desktop. How to create a folder unnamed and no icon

There are plenty of reasons why we may need to hide from an unidnamed eye of the one or another folder on your computer.

One of them is to have access to our PC among family members or colleagues if the computer is working.

Also information in hidden folders can be confidential or personal. Either these are adult files that are undesirable to watch children, from time to time occupying your computer.

We make the folder invisible

So, follow the phased instructions:

Stage I. Create a new folder on the desktop

Right-click on the free field of the desktop and in the menu that opens, select "Create", then "folder".

In order to create a new folder, press the right mouse button and select the desired function.

Stage II. We assign the invisible icon folder

In order to continue the process of concealing the folder, it is necessary to change its icon. For this we do the following:

We bring the cursor to the newly created folder;

I click on the right mouse button and select the option "Properties" option in the opened menu (at the bottom);

Right-click on the new folder and select the option "Properties"

The dialog box appears in front of us in which we select the "Setup" function;

At the bottom we see the "Change icon" button, which is activated;

We have a window with a large number of icons offered, among which we choose a transparent icon - approximately in the middle of the menu, it is invisible for the eye, so that it is activated to carry the cursor to the free field, as shown in the photo;

A folder with an invisible label and visible name appears on the desktop.

Stage III. Making a hidden folder name

So, on our desktop an invisible folder with the readable name. To also hide it, do the following:

press the "Alt" key and holding it down, we recruit the following combination of the numbers "0160", then "input".

We see how our folder completely disappeared from sight.

Note: To all of us it happens, the number of digits "0160" is important to produce exclusively with a digital keyboard of a computer (located right), and not with numbers that are at the top of the keyboard.

But, if after performing all manipulations, the folder name could not be hidden, try experimenting with the set of input numbers and keys, as follows:

after hovering the cursor to the name of the folder and select the "Rename" function, click simultaneously by the two "ALT" and "FN" keys, and then holding them by pressing the numbers "0160", after which "ENTER", and our folder fully became invisible .

You can also instead of a set of "0160" try the numbers "255".

Alternative way to hide folders

There is another way to make a folder or the file invisible for the eyes. It is based on the use of built-in features of Windows 7, 8 and 10 operating systems.

So, we act on items:

Press the right mouse button on the desired folder (file) and stop the cursor to the "Properties" functions.

We open the functional menu and on the first tab "General", in the bottom of the lower part we see "attributes" - we put the mark on the "hidden".

In attributes, choose the "Hidden" option

In the search for "find" folder parameters "and select the View tab

In the "View" section, select the option "Do not show hidden files, folders and discs", then "apply" and "OK". After that, we see how our folder completely disappeared from the desktop, that is, it became invisible.

Select the option "Do not show hidden files, folders and discs"

It should be noted that the above methods, by analogy, you can hide folders, files, pictures, music not only on the computer, but also on the disk and flash drive.

Open hidden folders and files

After we looked at all ways to make invisible folders and files in the Windows operating system, a question may arise - how to open them, see, find and so on.

It is not difficult to do it, if only because you can act in steps to conceal the folder, which we studied above, but now in the reverse order.

For example, to find our hidden files and folders, go back to the section "View" and change our checkbox to "Show hidden files, folders and discs" function, further "apply" and "OK".

In order to open our hidden folders and files, select the option "Show hidden files, folders and discs"

Then, pressing and holding the left mouse button, select part of the desktop field, as shown in the photo.

We will immediately see our hidden folders.

Sometimes you need to hide the file or folder from prying eyes on the desktop: from children, wives or husband, bosses. In our instruction there are 4 ways to do this in 1 minute.

Method 1: Popular

Create a folder

To begin with, create a conventional folder. It can be done on the desktop or anywhere else, where you will be comfortable. Right-click on the free zone → "Create" → "Folder". The name can be put any.

Making a transparent icon

Right-click on the new folder and open the "Properties".

On the Setup tab, click the "Change icon" button.

In the list of available icons, find a transparent icon, select it and click "OK". You can also download separately and specify the path to it.

In the folder properties window, click "Apply", "OK".

Now the folder has become transparent, only the name remains.

Hide the name of the folder

Press the right mouse button on the folder - rename. With the alt pinch key on the digital keyboard unit (right) enter the code 0160. This is a symbol of an inseparable space. Let's release alt and press ENTER. If it does not work, try replacing the code for 255, or together with Alt clamp the Fn button on the laptop.

On some laptop models there is no digital keyboard block. In such cases, type an integrated gap in the Word Ctrl + Shift + Space Key Combination. Copy and paste in the folder name.

Method 2: Alternative

My virtual machine with Windows 10 did not want to install a hidden icon for the folder. It turned out it only for a shortcut to the folder, but it was given a arrow in the corner. Therefore, I found an additional way to make an invisible folder.

In the properties of the folder, specify a tick on the "secret" option.

In the Explorer, open the View tab and check the "Hidden Elements" checkbox.

This option can be changed through the control panel:

Open the Control Panel. She is in a start. Find through or right-click on the Start icon - the control panel.

Choose "Design and Personalization".

On the View tab at the very end of the list, select the option "Do not show hidden files, folders and discs."

Click "Apply" - "OK".

Method 3: Simple

If you do not want to climb the OS settings, use the free Free Hide Folder program, which can be downloaded from the Official Site: http://www.cleanerersoft.com/hidefolder/free_hide_folder.htm. She hides the folder completely: not to find it even through the search.

After installing and running, the program will propose to enter a confirmation password. In the next step there will be a request for the registration code, you can skip it with the "SKIP" button.

To hide the folder, add it to the program button "Add". A warning will be displayed for creating a backup of data to access the folder in case of deleting and re-installing the program, so as not to lose access to it - click "Backup". Click "OK" and the folder will hide.

To access the folder in the program, click the Unhide button.

Method 4: Brilliant

Another unusual way to hide the folder - inside the picture. Before starting, make a copy of important files so as not to lose them in case of failure.

For example, take a folder with important data and a photo with a secret selection.

Make a secret folder archive (in ZIP or RAR format).

Create a folder than closer to the root of the disk - the easierless. I have it C: \\ SETUPIK \\. Move the created archive and photo of the cat inside this folder.

Open the command prompt: Press WIN + R, enter CMD and click OK.

Using the CD command, go to the created folder. So: CD C: \\ SETUPIK \\.

Enter the command COPY / B KOT.JPG + SECRET.RAR SECRET-IMG.JPG. File names change to your: first - cat photo, second - archive with a hidden folder, the third is a new file with a picture-secret.

After executing the command, open the created SECRET-img.jpg file. You will see the same picture with a cat. But if you open this file using an archiver or change the extension to RAR or ZIP - you will see hidden files. Magic!

How to find a hidden folder

In the first case, the folder with an invisible icon and the title will be visible if it is highlighted. This can be done with the Ctrl + A keys combination or manually select the entire desktop area.

In the case of a hidden folder using the attribute, it will be possible to find it when you turn on the display of hidden files and folders through the control panel. That is, you need to repeat the actions described in the reverse order.

You can also access the hidden folder if you record it somewhere. For example: C: \\ Users \\ Admin \\ AppData \\ My hidden folder. Insert this path to the conductor and the desired folder opens.

As you can see, there is a chance that your hidden folder will accidentally find. Therefore, it is better to remove it from the desktop somewhere away. And the most reliable way is to put the password on the folder. When archiving a folder in WinRAR, the options will be able to set the password and hide file names.

Today you will see how to make a folder unnamed in windows 7, 8. Mostly trick is used to. Thus, the catalog is hiding and its contents from prying eyes, but the level of security remains at the lowest level. To eliminate the threat, it is recommended.

Using a lesson, you can make a folder without a name, but there is one nuance. Your computer must have a digital keyboard, which is located on the right (if you do not read it below). It usually contains 17 keys on itself, including numbers from 0 to 9. If the keys are not pressed, click on Num Lock.

Basically do not possess the keys to the right, laptops, netbooks. And that, now it will not be possible remove the folder name in Windows 7, 8? Of course, it will be possible if you turn on the numbers corresponding to the English letters MJKluio and the numbers 789. Check out your keyboard and select the necessary keys. For their inclusion, a combination of Fn + F11 is used (SHIFT + F11).

If it fails, then. On the main keyboard, clamp Fn, and on the on-screen Num Lock.

By default, the right buttons are disabled. To enable them, click the "Parameters" button (picture above), then check the "Enable Digital Keypad" checkbox and click OK. Before starting actions, take care of this, and follow the instructions.

Do the invisible name folder

It is advisable to make an empty name directory on the desktop. Presumably in the conductor to look it will be meaningless, but for training you can do here. If you try to put spaces for the name or leave an empty place, then after clicking Enter you do not work out. To carry out the goal, perform a step-by-step actions algorithm:

1. (Go to step 3) or use the existing one.
2. Right-click on the directory, select the "Rename" section from the menu or double-click the left button with a delay between clicks in 2-3 seconds. You can also select "Properties" from the menu, on the General tab, at the very top, select the current folder name.
3. Delete the previous name, clamp the Alt button, type 255 on the novel keypad (click the KII on the netbook), release ALT and press Enter.

After this approach, the folder will be unnamed. In fact, the catalog is assigned an integrender symbol that resembles a regular space.

By the way, for this principle you can remove the name of the shortcuts, files. At the same time, make sure that it is disabled. So you accidentally do not delete the extension, and it will not be displayed on files.

Note: Please note that you cannot delete the names of the system folders or those that are currently used. The same applies to files, labels.

Surely, the folder without a name will not look original. Therefore, focusing on that in order to ask distinctive features and attractiveness.

That's all, now you can make a folder unnamed in windows 7, 8 Lightning. All you need is the practical application of this lesson in compliance with the recommended rules.
