first of all, of course it would work on a pet cuz they cant use the computer and second, WTH did you put pets twice!?!?!?!?!?!?

Or you can just put a period in front of the folder name. For example: ".Folder"

ok but after you do this how do you delete it??

[david1991rules4life]

even better, right click the folder properties and make it hidden, make sure u put w.e files or folders u wnt to hide inside before doing this, then click apply and it wont be visible in the library on desktop or on the actual desktop (not even clickable, poof'ed X2!) lol. And then control panel, folder options, view, show hidden files and folders, apply to see the folder on desktop again (it will have moved on the desktop not looking at library desktop or windows explorer) ~ after ur last icon
