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:
haha neat trick it worked there goes ma rated stuff .. oh wait thers no recycle bin now hahah just kidden
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) .{6DFD7C5C-2451-11D3-A299-00C04F8EF6AF} (= Folder Options) .{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....
