How to create blank folder names in Windows

Create blank folder names

Today, we will see how to create blank folder names in Windows. I have used this trick earlier on Windows Vista and Windows 7 – and it now also works on Windows 10 / 8.1.

Using this trick, you can display a folder without a name.

Your computer needs to have a Numeric keyboard pad. In case some of you do not know, Numeric keypad or NumPad is the section of the keyboard on the right side, which usually contains , numbers from 0 to 9, +, -, *, /, ., Num Lock and Enter keys.

To create blank folder names, right-click on folder.

Select Rename and enter only spaces,  the operating system will not accept it.

To remove the name and display a blank name, right-click on the folder and select Rename. Now delete the old name and press the Alt key and from the Numeric keypad, press 0160.
