There are lots of software which allows you to hide a folder on your Windows PC. But here is the easiest way to do that. All it takes is less than a minute! Here is how -
- Right click on the folder you want to hide and select Properties –> Customize tab –> Change Icon button.
- You will find few blank icons, select one of them and click OK. Folder icon should now have disappeared.
- To hide the name box, right click on the folder icon (which is a blank icon) and select “Rename“. Activate the Numlock and press Alt+0160 and then press Enter.
You are done! It hardly took a minute, ain’t it?!
