To make an invisible folder in windows......first create a newfolder.Then rename it to blank by holding ALT+0160 ...the numbers 0160 should be from the numpad.after renaming it to blank.now right click over it nd go to properties->change icon.Select a blank icon there and apply.Now you have created your invisible folder.It's there but you can't see it.You can put whatever you want in it

I'd say you were more camouflaging it than making it invisible.

This looks interesting, but what if you own a laptop?
Did you find a way to do it on a laptop?
It would be helpful if there was a way

On a laptop you can use Character Map (start->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map).
in character map make sure that font Arial is selected, double click the empty character that is on the 5th row after z, {, |, } and ~. Then you will be able to copy it using the 'Copy' button and then paste it as the name of the folder

Thats a very usefull tip.
I think that it is better than hiding folders because after hiding folders you can unhide them very easily through folder options.
This way even if someone enables "show hidden folders" still the folder will stay hidden.
The only problem will come when someone selects all the folders through the "select all" option.
