Hello all,
I have been using this little trick for quite a while now; I found it while messing around with different folder settings........

------ To create a hidden folder without the hidden attributes-----

1. Right click on your desktop > go to the "New" menu > click "folder"
2. Right click on the folder that you just created and go to "Properties"
3. Click the customize tab, then click the "Change Icon" button
4. A window should then pop up with a whole bunch of icons to choose from...
"Look for Icons in this file:" should be set to >"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll"
5. Down below I have attached an image of what you should select while scrolling through the list
6. Click ok
7. Click "Apply" then Click "Ok"

You should notice that the Icon has disappeared..... All that you should see is the text... now for the best part....

8. Right click the text then click "rename" then press ALT 255 and then press Enter.....

THE FOLDER IS GONE!!!!!

Try to remember where you put it. but if you forget just right click your desktop and go to the menu "arrange icons by" click "name" and the invisible space will be your file.... (Usually at the bottom of your icon list)
