  2. How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin my user name folder turned into desktop icon folder :D

  4. my user name folder turned into desktop icon folder

    User's Name Desktop Folder changed it's name to "Folders"

    I have a problem with my User Folder.

    Actually the User Folder name is fine, but when you add the Folder on the desktop (with the option on Personalize + Themes) it changed it's name to "Folders"

    I've tried creating new users, but every new user I create, no matter how you name that user, when you active the user folder on the desktop it appears as "Folders".

    Does anyone have a solution for this? It's not like a big problem but it disturbs my visual.

    Thanks.

    Best regards to all.
