How to Create nameless files and folders in windows.

This trick enable you to create a files and folders without any name.
How to do :-
Create a new folder or Right click on it, click on rename or simply press F2,then and hold Alt key and type 255 on the number pad (i.e NumLk should be on) at the same time.
Another method :-
Create a new folder and hold Alt Key and type 0160 on the numpad at the same time.


What’s the reason :- This puts an ASCII code instead of typically qwerty keys or say that it’s using the special character which resembles ’space’ ,means The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.
Note : Type the numbers 0160/255 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.
But If you wanted to create another nameless file or folder in the same directory then
For this you will have to rename the file or folder with 2 space.
Steps:-
  1. Select file or folder and press F2.
  2. Hold Alt key and type 255 from numpad.
  3. Release the Alt key, Now without doing anything else, again hold Alt key and type 255.
  4. Press enter and you will have second nameless file or folder in the same directory.
Repeat step3 to create as many nameless file or folder in the same directory.
