http://live.pirillo.com/ – Chris is a maniacal tweaker when it comes to Windows. From desktop wallpaper all thy way to totally replacing his shell, he loves to customize his system to fit his tastes. This time he may have gone a little too far when he created an invisible folder in Windows Vista.

To get an "invisible folder" you need to do two things:

• Rename the folder to an invisible character. You can do this by renamed the folder and using ALT+0160. You should now have a folder without a name.
• To get rid of the icon right click on the folder, select properties, go to customize, and change the icon to a blank icon.
• You now have an invisible folder!

In order to delete the folder you’ll need to rename it in the command prompt by typing:

ren " " foldername

That’s not a space in between the quotes. You need to press ALT+1060. You’ll then be able to delete the folder.

What tweaks do you use on Windows?
