how can i delete it?

[kurisupizza]

people to delete it on vista like he said open the command prompt but to do this its DIFFERENT. hold shift and right click any where on the desktop then click on the " open command window here" then when u have it open THEN do the ren thingy

[cosmin989]

when im trying to delete it keeps on saying system connot find the file

[cosmin989]

i don't have the numbers under the letters

[citrons666]

[OrganicTastesBetter]

[slkbugs]

how do i re-rename it??

[james227uk]

The icon just turns back. How do I fix this?

[SuperGonkDroid]

when i change the folders icon to the blank one it turns black. do you know how to fix that?

[james227uk]

A found a way of fixing it! Hold hown the left CTRL key key and move the wheel on the mouse up or down until the black space disappears

What if you have a laptop with no num. pad?

[ueberRegenbogen]

Most—if not all—notebook keyboards have a number-pad mode. In some cases it involves the Fn key or whatnot. On my ThinkPad i type num-lock (which is shift-scroll-lock on that keyboard); then 7,8,9 and the letters below them become the num-pad, and i can type alt-codes or do any other num-pad activity.

[airsoftM177]

how do i get the text back

[dummshapeshifter]

re-rename the file to get it back

[purplekissa]

That is so cool!!! I did not know that. Ooo a hidden folder.

[quiteobserver]

no, it finally worked but nobody said, that you gotta use LEFT alt key !!!!

[ueberRegenbogen]

Oooh. Let me guess: non-US keyboard layout. The right alt key becomes altgr in that case, and you have to use the left one. Slight oversight on Chris' part.

[quiteobserver]

bullshit, not work on laptop even with screenpad

[JDogg7000]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

ive searched for hours lookin how 2 delete a hidden file

THANK YOU!!@!!

[iFartArrows]

you can just right click

property and then tick hidden

it disapears

and if u wanna see it go

to

the folder and

type the folder

for example C:desktop/(folder name)

[DANTE908780]

its not working for me the invisible folder im pressing and holoding the alt button and then on my laptop i press 0160

[Typh00n2000]

For those of you that have a problem deleting this file, remeber to copy the cmd.exe file to where you actually put the "alt+0160" from the start, like this:

(in this example i chose to put it onto the desktop)

search for cmd -> copy it and paste it onto the desktop -> then run the command prompt with admin status from there with the

ren " " "random name here"

[jakeTHEvampireKING]

Hey im having troubles deleting it :( wats the cmd.exe file??

[jakeTHEvampireKING]

i found cmd and im outting everything the vid says and its still not fricken working

[beavkil]

boo radlye, just finished reading that book for school

[RatchetRenegade]

In OS X you can simply put a space as the folder name and it appears to have no text.

[kubilay]

There is no num pad on laptop :(

[james01246]

same

[RishavR]

check a function

mines fn-->scroll lock

then my keys get replaced with numbers

ex:

then 0y 2eys get re*3aced w5th n40bers

[james01246]

i know now,no point with invisible folders anyway...all you hav to do is hover mouse over position and it shows up...

[RishavR]

so it just a little trick no need to bash it

i bet if you showed a little kid he'd think you were the coolest thing since Pokemon..

i like it.. :)

but there really isnt a point

if you truly wanted to make it invisible you would have to enable its hidden attribute but thats pointless also

[james01246]

Yeah,dont get me wrong! This was a really good tut for peeps who wanna do it =)

[phrozensolid1]

This is an old trick.

[NaCroZ]

How to rename it and delete:

RUN>CMD prompt.. you need to type:

cd Desktop.. then you guys need to follow through with the ren " " kladsjfa where the space between the " " is alt num-key 0160. Have fun guys!

[amalone07]

[joeninja26]

boo radley is from "To Kill a Mockingbird"

[silvercondouloboy06]

Chris, when I originally seen this folder, I had thought you randomly named those folders. Now that the school year is half over, I know that the folder names were a reference from To Kill a Mockingbird (Boo Radley. :P)

[Othecryman]

[pancake292]

[guillerone]

found it! to delete the folder:

in command prompt, and in the same folder as the invisible folder, type:

ren "alt + 255" delete

dont put "alt + 255" in letters. Actually press alt, and type 255, which will appear blanck. the quotations have to appear. the folder will be renamed then

[guillerone]

I can´t delete the folder!

that REN thing doesnt work!

[billpg49]

[btlim5163]

I tried it and it works! Great tip! Very handy!

[jgrab81]

Chris: I made an invisible folder in my documents folder, how do I delete that one? when I open the command prompt it just goes to c:\users\john> and I can't figure out what to do from there. Thanks...

[martyjerry]

Very cleaver. I have to try this tip.

[nev104]

it dos not work no my laptop? why?

[jemmons]

hey, what about password protected that invisible folder? that is without installing some clunky third party software. Any tweak with windows that will allow that?

[rooboy69]

nice to see the end part needed for vista, but i think this is the most commonly made video on youtube under computers

[robrobbins]

Why would you want to do this?

[plasmafrag]

that is an awesome tip, thanks a lot chris!

[Gaifreak]

hehehehe boo radley.

[TrasherJay]

Its didnt work..

The 0161 part.

Comes up as an 'i' When I release the Alt key.

[axnlogix]

It's 0160. I think he clearly said that...

[a1gaius]

whoa! that's a chick magnet right there.

[carltardif]

Very interesting I'm doing that for sure.
