1. Right click on a folder and rename (or simply select folder and press F2) Now hold ALTER key and press 0160 from NUMBER PAD and then relese ALTER key and press Enter. Now U will see your folder has no name(Actually it is renamed as SPACE)
2. Now Second task is to hide the icon(i.e to make it transparent)

For this rename folder with any extension given below

Lock {21F3D32E-CEEB-4345-87B3-336E54D39A9C}
{21F5A790-53EA-3D73-86C3-A5BA6CF65FE9}
{2206CDB0-19C1-11D1-89E0-00C04FD7A829}
Network {208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}
My Computer {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Recycle bin {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Network Connection {7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
Search {E17D4FC0-5564-11D1-83F2-00A0C90DC849}
Zipped Folder {E88DCCE0-B7B3-11D1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}



e.g Suppose your folder name is "trial" then rename it as "trial.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" (Without the quotes) and press Enter. Now you will find that whenever you try to open this folder Control Panel will be opend instead.

Try for other extention, it will produce different result.
