did you know you can't name a folder Con in Windows no seriously go try it I'll just create a new folder c-o-n window says no you also can't name it aux PRN lpt3 or any of these now I'm not going to get into all the technical reasons of why Windows is like this but let me show you a neat little work around so I'll type Co in like before but at the end I'm going to press alt 255 on my keyboard now on Windows alt 255 actually creates a special character that's completely invisible but what
happens if we just name the folder the invisible character well now we have a completely nameless folder isn't that awesome but if I go to properties customize and change icon and then find one of these invisible icons here now we have a completely invisible folder I can keep all of my secrets in here okay but the how hidden actually is this folder well if I go to file explorer filters still there but it doesn't have a name or an icon so it's kind of hard to notice and in terminal if I use the dir command
I can see my folder right here but there's no way for me to access even if I use CD and do that invisible character it doesn't work hold on I think I hear Chuck
