How To Hide Your Folder Without Hiding It Physically?

Sometimes, our important files are not safe from other user(s) Folder Iconespecially if we store it in a folder. Other user(s) are sometimes curious and they want to open your folder to see what's inside. If you are storing like a scandal files, then bingo!, you're caught.


To prevent this happen to you, then, you can fool other user(s) by simply changing the folder icon into a different one from the common folder icon. As you can see the picture on the left side, the normal icon of a folder is just like a real folder that is slightly open (the “Before” icon). But, you can change the icon into a different one (the “After” icon), or any icons that you want to replace in the original. This sounds tricky, right? But, it's a very simple, you are just a few clicks away to do that. Just remember that the author is not liable for any damages of your files if the below procedures will not work.

To change the icon, just follow the steps below.

1. Right click the folder that you want to change the icon.
2. On the pop-up menu, select the “Properties” option.
3. Then click the “Customize” tab.
4. Click the “Change Icon” button on the lower left side of the pop-up menu, another pop-up menu will appear.
5. Select an icon you want to replace with on the second pop-up menu, then click “OK” button.
6. Click the “Apply” button, then click “OK” button. That's it, you're done.


On the current icon of your folder, you can now fool other user(s ) as they don't think that it's a folder.

Nice tip! I'm using this one to hide one of my folders where I store my friends' funny (somewhat weird) pictures! LOL :D
