How To Create A Invisible Folder in Windows XP

Now, right click the folder and go down and click rename
And press delete (to remove the name of the folder), then press the following buttons:
- While holding alt, press (on the numberpad, or else it won't work), 255 and then release alt and press enter. Now the folder shouldn't have a name(as in the picture below)...

Scroll across untill you see a blank space in between the icons...
Select this and press OK and then OK again
