Leaving a file unlabeled?

Thursday, June 26, 2003 by chewie8008 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Is it possible to create a new folder and leave the name field blank? An unlabeled folder, if so how?

Also, is it possible for me to download individual icons, instead of a whole set? If so, how?

Thanks guys!

No underscore here on XP, sort or long.
OK, lets try to see how it shows in the console.

Yep. DOS just lists it as [DIR], no name.

Çërêb®øJÐ you are indeed correct if you change the folder view options to not underline until you point at it, then the folder appears to have no name.

Yes Paxx you are correct as long as the folder options are like stated above... now that your in dos can you CD to the alt + 0160 directory under xp?

In all 9x and NT4 I can CD under a command prompt but not under xp

ohhhh such a Network admins dream it be too. Can you imagne not ever running into this and having someone with a 40 gig drive, with 20 gigs dedicated to illegal mp3's stuffed away in a (blank labeled) folder having never known of this ability?

And, by the way, my options are to double-click on desktop icons, as usual. I hate Web view. So, nothing is underlined, ever, even when I mouseover it.

alt+0160 is an old pub warez dump trick to hide folders

used to work great back in the day

see folders /pub/ / / / / /blah/stuff/ /inhere
as an example
