    Default hide folders in win98

    just go to command prompt from start->run->command.
    go to the desired folder, (not inside it).
    type
    ren (folder name) alt+(any combination of number) and press enter.
    example:
    c:\>ren shri alt+123456789 (press enter)

    following will replace the folder with an unrecognised file type.

    >this file cannot be opened,
    >it cannot be deleted,
    >it cannot be renamed, (in GUI mode)

    to unlock it repeat the same process.

    go to the folder (the unrecognised one)
    type:
    ren alt+(key combination) (folder name desired)

    caution do not misplace the key combination used cause it is the only way to unlock the folder.

    it works only under win9X

    cause win 9x doesn't recognises special caharcters.

    Nice tip by ftvfatboy.
    That's really cool

    But as long as renaming with key combination is concern, that's useless.
    that could just be used to kid someone newbie in Windows 98/Me

    pretty old trick
    i use it a lot to hide my folders

    Since no one knows where the folder is
    I'm sure that nobody will open it

    And my suggestion is to keep the folder inside another folder
    If its in the root and somebody unhides the files
    then u'll get caught

    Also I thank shri_mestry785

    I dint knew that
    will try that
