hmm.. yet another one

Am running out of ideas to write anything on the blog, infact got none :D. so got to stick with the previous post's subject until i find one :)

another method of hiding folders.. purposes served not one but two. one is obvious and the other one is ease of retrieval.here is how it goes(/n) :

this time its not only folders that am talking about but files as well. the result is you do not end up going to the folder options, select show hidden files,but, u simply access the file or folder through a simple command in run.

select the file(note that here on file can be file/folder in this post), right click over it and select create shortcut. rename the shortcut to something u easily remember and do not have trouble typing.now cut the shortcut and paste it in the :\windows\system32 folder.thats all. we are done with half the job.now right click over the file/folder go to properties and check hidden.we are done :).

now if the folder/file is still visible then go to folder options and check do not show hidden files or folder under view tab.save and apply the settings. now click start on the taskbar and open run and type in the shortcut you have named a step ago and press enter.u will see your folder the way it was.

after doing this you skip the irksome part of changing the folder options everytime u want to view the folder.enjoy your hiding :)
