It works, though technically it isn't a nameless folder, it's just a folder named with a non-alphanumeric character. Do you have any practical use for this or it's just for the sake of curiosity?

There are many such tricks that have already been posted in these forums. Have a look around, son and don't forget to search before you post. In any case, I don't think it works in Win XP, Server 2003 and Vista. Could anyone check and confirm please?

I had no idea about that little trick, that will be fun to play with to burn a few minutes of time . Also I just attempted this following the instructions in the original post on my desktop (using Windows XP Home - Service Pack 1) and it works just fine from my end. Heh heh, cool little trick  .

QUOTE Do you have any practical use for this or it's just for the sake of curiosity? In order to have a directory where my wife will not go, because she will not se the directory name. He-he, all the downloaded photos you don't want to be seen, you put them in a no-name directory, if you crawl the disk too fast you will not see that it's not empty and it's clickable. (is it clickable ?)

Indeed the folder name is not empty. Instead you're using a special character which resembles 'space'. Confirmed that it works in vista. Even after you rename it and remove the character, it stays like that. Ok feature

For that you can just keep these hidden.  And for some more security, put them into some weird C:\windows\system32\tmp323542\toolIE\ folder. And for even more security, you can RAR these. And for some more security, you give the RAR file a password. Then rename it to WINSYS32.DLL (these names scare newbies away), burn in to a CD and keep it together with those games you never play. Ok, all this may seem a little extreme, but you know women...

ALT+255 is for special character that represents blank space. so you are creating the folder with name as space. this can wven be done by pressing space bar ..... a single ley stroke inplace of 4 keystrokes.... will save some energy and increase life of the keyboard.

[trick] Installing Xp Last And Still Dual Boot
For Windows Vista (0) QUOTE This was a tough one, but I managed to prove my theory that XP can be installed last and
still added to the bootloader. It was simple to do with two cmd lines, but damn hard to find and
figure out. My first problem getting Vista off of XP (I didn't want to use VistaBootPro in
solving this puzzle) so I could add XP after the Vista install without any traces of it left from
the bootloader. I could have reinstalled XP and cleaned it up, but a little research revealed a much
quicker way with bootsect.exe. The syntax is: E:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 AL....

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (18) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....
