    hello friends,
    i am here to share my knowledge with you about creating hidden folder
    actually all knows about creating folder goes to properties and clicks on hidden but this is not that thing
    it doesnt visible and when you click on empty space where you created it opens
    sounds interesting let me explain..............
    create new folder
    done..........
    now it shows as new folder
    now go to rename
    now give name by code by pressing alt press 0160
    now it shows nothing
    now go to properties and go to customize
    click on change icon...
    and select no icon as it doesn't visible
    refresh now
    now it is finished
    but main drawback is you can create only one in anywhere i mean in desktop one and in local disks
    it works on windows xp i am not tried on 7 if anyone tried post here

    Hey guys,

    Let me put in my contribution on this 😉

    Alright when it comes to hiding files I would probably go for hiding the file in image file Ok so let me explain how it should be done!!

    NOTE: Make sure you have winrar installed

    ok lets say there is a text file and it has some content which i want to hide or folder (what ever you want to hide) right click and create an archive file using win rar which results in a .rar format. Now take any image file and put it in the same folder where you have the rar file (which contains the files which you want to hide) now open you command prompt, for people who don't know how to do it follow the below steps:

    -> Click the start button (windows start button)
    -> Choose run
    -> and type cmd and hit enter (or click ok button)

    you will see a black window which is the command prompt now navigate to the directory where the file is there for example lets say the files (.rar and image file) are in c drive this is how you have to navigate to the folder

    c:\Document and setting\slashfear>cd \
    c:\>

    now type this command for example the image file name is demo.jpg and the rar file name is hide.rar


    c:\>copy /b demo.jpg + hide.rar demo.jpg

    hit enter and your done!!

    Now the files are hidden in the image file if you double click on the demo.jpg it will show you the image and to see the hidden files open the demo.jpg with winrar or rename demo.jpg to demo.rar!!

    if you have any doubts please feel free to ask!! 😉

    @Arvind: Dude, that was really awesome! Thanks for that trick. By the way, how did you find it out and what is behind copying it as binary? Does it need anything else, any special software, or minimum system requirements? Is it only supported in RAR, or it works in ZIP too?

    By the way, from my side, if you want to create a quick icon file, with some picture in your hand, take your favourite picture editor, create your master piece, resize into it a 32 x 32 canvas and export it as Windows Bitmap. Now rename the .bmp to .exe or .ico and voila, your icon file is ready! 😀

    No prob!! I actually was playing around and tried to do stenography in python and perl but eventually dint work!! ( but still working on it ..... 😀 )

    You have to copy the contents in binary then only the actual file will remain undamaged and for some reason it works only with winrar and not winzip. and to perform this you don't have to have any special system config or extra software (except winrar)
