In the Microsoft Windows operating system by using the Alt key and the NUMPAD, you can create a range of characters that usually a standard keyboard doesn’t have. This range starts from 0 to 255 decimal numbers which the last one is the invisible character (Alt + 255). If you want to create folders or files without a name to show off to your friends or just want to get rid of text under the desktop icons, you can use the invisible character to rename an existing or new folder, icon or shortcut and make the text under them disappeared. First of all we see how we can do this trick and then we will check all ALT + NUMPAD ASCII symbols together.
Step 1
Go to any directory on your system, right-click and then select New>Folder.
Step 2
Right-click on the folder and from the menu, choose Rename. Remove or delete the folder name, hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and type 255 with the help of the NUMPAD (not the numbers on the top of the keyboard) on the right side of your keyboard. After that release the Alt key and then you have it, a folder without a name.
Step 3
As you can’t have a file or a folder with the exact same name in the Windows OS, to create another folder without the name, just do the step 3 twice and for the next one do the combination three times and so on. You can also do the same technique to hide text under any shortcuts or icons on your desktop or local machine.
Alt + NUMPAD ASCII Characters
In general by holding the Alt and typing the character's decimal code with the Numeric Pad keys, you are able to enter special symbols or characters in the Windows. Use the table below, open the Windows Notepad or Microsoft Word and try a different range of characters by yourself.
