    I have my music folder set up like this

    (Some folder icons aren't updated because the free trial of my icon editing tool ran out.)

    and I think it would look better if the folder names weren't there. Is there any way to do this?

    I would also like to do this for my album specific subfolders, so I can use the titles instead, and I don't have to see the file name extendions.

    Hide or Show User Profile's Personal Folders in Navigation Pane

    Hello Brink and thank you. This website is a very helpful resource. Is there a way for me to hide filenames in specific folders? :)

    Your suggested answer will hide the User Profile folder in the Navigation Pane.

    Instead, this scenario involves not hiding the User Profile folder but hiding specific Personal Folders in the Navigation Pane that are marked "Hidden" in the Files/Folders Listing Area.

    My suspicion is that there are more "PinToNamespace" registry entries for me to toggle the DWORD value.

    64 Character folder + filename limit on DVD/CD's?

    We just got an email from IT regarding backing up projects to CD/DVD... that there is a 64 Character folder/path + filename limit on DVD/CD's.

    So if a pathname + filename on the network is greater than 64 characters, the file will be forced to the root of the disk and truncated if the filename itself is more than 64 characters.

    Is this true? Or limited to a specific OS or format of the DVD/CD?

    EDIT: Found this thead, but it's OLD (2002): http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/archive/index.php/t-92367.html

    Temporarily hide a folder

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to hide photos while working on Photos app, In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need some information.



    1. Are you aware of any recent changes made on your PC?
    2. What is the version and build of you operating system? In the
      Search box, type winver
      to get this info.


    Since it takes a while for the folder to re-populate after removal from the Photos app, I have found a work around to hide the folder from Photos app by changing the hidden attributes.



    Follow the steps to hide the Photo/ folder.



    1. Right click on the Photo/ folder.
    2. Select properties.
    3. Check Hidden under General tab and hit apply
    4. The photo will be temporally hidden from photos app.


    To unhide the Photo/ folder refer the below steps.



    1. Click on files explorer.
    2. Select the View tab and check Hidden items to view the Photo/folder
    3. Right click on the Photo/folder
    4. Select properties, Uncheck Hidden and click on apply.
    5. The Photo will re-appear in the Photos app.


    Thanks,
