    Hey, i found out a cool thing on the net and would like to share wid u IGTians...

    If you want to create a folder with blank name, do the following...

    1. Create a folder with any name..
    2. Rename it and type ALT+255 (From your Number pad).
    3. Click enter

    A folder has been created which has no name.......

    Isn't it cool??:rule: :rock:

    Yeah .. Its because ASCII value of blank character is 255 ..

    Also check this out ..

    Create a new folder with the name X.
    Open the command prompt and rename it to one of the following:

    .{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} (= My Computer)
    .{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103} (= My Documents)
    .{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D} (= My Network Places)
    .{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} (= Recycle Bin)
    .{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} (= Internet Explorer)
    .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} (= Control Panel)
    .{D20EA4E1-3957-11D2-A40B-0C5020524153} (= Administrative Tools)
    .{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} (= Inbox)
    .{D20EA4E1-3957-11D2-A40B-0C5020524152} (= Fonts)
    .{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} (= Network Connections)
    .{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} (= Printers and Faxes)
    .{7BE9D83C-A729-4D97-b5A7-1B7313C39E0A} (= Programs Folder)
    .{E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD} (= Scanners and Cameras)
    .{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (= Scheduled Tasks)
    .{48E7CAAB-B918-4E58-A94D-505519C795DC} (= Start Menu Folder)
    .{7BD29E00-76C1-11CF-9DD0-00A0C9034933} (= Temporary Internet Files)
    .{BDEADF00-C265-11d0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} (= Web Folders)

    .{00020801-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} (= Folder)
    .{00021400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} (= Another Folder)

    Important: include the point and nothing before that!

    Example: "rename X .{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"

    You can make a shortcut to that folder, change the target and icon and you have a nameless shortcut.

    The "My Computer","My Network Places" and "My Documents" folders will disappear when you place it on your desktop. (it's still there but you can't see it)

    The ALT+255 trick

    Yeah...used to be more useful in Win 98... if u used Alt 255 and named a directory (do this frm DOS and it works gr8).....u cud lock it up. Folder size 0 bytes...files 0..... double click and it wont open in Win 98..... store gigs of ****o and blank name it up to seal it forever.... can be renamed back properly thru DOS and u can get back ur data...

    But it doesnt work in XP etc.... Alt 255 is recognised as the normal space i think.... Btw, Alt+255 is not the same as SPACE as someone pointed out....
