Create a Nameless File and Nameless Folder in Computer

It doesn’t make any sense to me to make a file or folder without naming it.

Why would I create a folder which is nameless but yeah if you have some evil plans like wanting to hide something from your family who aren’t geeks, why not try and hide it in some weird places in your computer but don’t forget where you placed them, tricks are always useful isn’t it.

So, I am going to share a simple trick which enable you to create a nameless file or folder i.e.,file or folder without a name in it.

Here’s the step to create it.

Just create a new folder and hold Alt key and type 255 on the number pad at the same time.

For laptop users, press Fn and hold Alt key and press the letter keys kii to make use of number pad

Your nameless folder is ready.

Another method

Just create a new folder and hold Alt Key and type 0160 on the numpad at the same time.

Reason - This puts an ASCII code instead of typically qwerty keys or say that they are using the special character which resembles ‘space’.

But If you wanted to create another nameless file or folder in the same directory?

For this you will have to rename the file or folder with 2 space. Here’s the step involve to get it work.

Select file or folder and press F2.

Hold Alt key and type 0160 from numpad.

Release the Alt key, Now without doing anything else, again hold Alt key and type 0160.

Press enter and you will have second nameless file or folder in the same directory.

Repeat step3 to create as many nameless file or folder in the same directory.

Note:- I tried this tricks on windows XP and Home vista. The rest OS supports or not, I can’t say
