Ever thought of creating a folder or a file with no name...........! yes,with out any name. You can create them without name.Here is the process of creating them

1) Select any file or folder.

2) Right click on it, select 'Rename' or simply press 'F2'.

3) Press and hold the 'Alt' key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers '0160' from the numpad.

Note :- Type the numbers '0160' from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard.Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.If you you are using lap & you don have the numpad then it cant be done.

4) Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.

Reason :- The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.

3) Release the 'Alt' key. Now without doing anything else, again hold 'Alt' key and type '0160'.

4) Press 'Enter' and you will have second nameless file in the same directory.

5) Repeat step 3 to create as many nameless files or folders in the same directory.



The files or Folders created in this way cannot be deleted in the general mode.To delete them boot in to 'Safe Mode' and delete them from there.
