How to make an invisible folder on your desktop to store your IMVU porn (or anything you want) and keep it away from prying eyes. This technique works on Windows Xp, 7, 8 and 10.


PROS
-Invisible to anyone looking at your screen
-Easy to access if you know it's there

CONS
-Only works on the desktop
-Can be seen if mouse hovers over it


Tutorial:

1) Create a new folder on your desktop.

2) Give it an invisible name by holding down the ALT key and typing 0160 on your number pad.

3) Right click on the folder and select "properties".

4) On the new dialog that opens, click the "Customize" tab at the top right.

5) At the bottom of the dialog, click "Change Icon..."

6) In the new dialog that appears, scroll to the left till you find a blank icon. Click the blank icon.

7) Click the OK button on the icon selection dialog.

8) Click the OK button on the folder Properties dialog.

Done! You should not have a folder on your desktop that is invisible until you hover your mouse over it.

Personally I never considered that because I always have the "view hidden files" options on since I work with appdata a lot.

So this is a technique for people who can't or wont turn that option off.
