How to disguise any folder in Recycle Bin

I found a very interesting way to hide any folder: disguise it in Recycle Bin.
To make this trick follow this steps:
Rename the folder with {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
For example if you have a folder named Geek right click on it and select Rename.
Now type Geek.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
To remove this hidding feature go to Start-> Run and type cmd. Type this:
ren Geek.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} Geek
You should change the folder path according where your folder Geek is located on your system.
What do you think? Love it or leave it?

So this is an interesting find, but when adding files to the “hidden” folder it automatically goes to the recycles bin and when you rename it to its original name the files still aren’t there… So if you should do this, do not empty you the recycle bin as you will most likely lose what ever you are trying to hide…
It doesnt work on VISTA , LINUX or MAC - besides if I zip it and open the archiuved zip file hence all files are visible as well
This is a great way to hide your ‘adult’ files. They also do not show up in searches, for your clever friends that try to see if your pc is ‘clean’.
Another way to access the files quickly is to rename the folder (try using F2) and just remove the final } from the name. The folder will be accessible like normal. To hide the files again, just rename and add the } again.
uummm.. yeah, but if you have vista(maybe this works on other OS I’m not sure)
you can just do this
1.right click
2.click properties
3.go to the general tab
4.click the checkmark next to HIDDEN
5.you can no longer see it unless you go to folder and search options, go to the view tab and check “show hidden files”
so leave it (for me anyway).
Leave it.
No, really… just get Truecrypt, it is much easier, quicker, free and actually protects your files.
