A hidden secret in XP


A hidden secret in XP

Create a new folder with the name ABC(of course you can give any name).
Open the command prompt and rename it to one of the following:

.{20D04FE0-3AEA- 1069-A2D8- 08002B30309D} (= My Computer)
.{450D8FBA-AD25- 11D0-98A8- 0800361B1103} (= My Documents)
.{208D2C60-3AEA- 1069-A2D7- 08002B30309D} (= My Network Places)
.{645FF040-5081- 101B-9F08- 00AA002F954E} (= Recycle Bin)
.{871C5380-42A0- 1069-A2EA- 08002B30309D} (= Internet Explorer)
.{21EC2020-3AEA- 1069-A2DD- 08002B30309D} (= Control Panel)
.{D20EA4E1-3957- 11D2-A40B- 0C5020524153} (= Administrative Tools)
.{00020D75-0000- 0000-C000- 000000000046} (= Inbox)
.{D20EA4E1-3957- 11D2-A40B- 0C5020524152} (= Fonts)
.{7007ACC7-3202- 11D1-AAD2- 00805FC1270E} (= Network Connections)
.{2227A280-3AEA- 1069-A2DE- 08002B30309D} (= Printers and Faxes)
.{7BE9D83C-A729- 4D97-b5A7- 1B7313C39E0A} (= Programs Folder)
.{E211B736-43FD- 11D1-9EFB- 0000F8757FCD} (= Scanners and Cameras)
.{D6277990-4C6A- 11CF-8D87- 00AA0060F5BF} (= Scheduled Tasks)
.{48E7CAAB-B918- 4E58-A94D- 505519C795DC} (= Start Menu Folder)
.{7BD29E00-76C1- 11CF-9DD0- 00A0C9034933} (= Temporary Internet Files)
.{BDEADF00-C265- 11d0-BCED- 00A0C90AB50F} (= Web Folders)
.{6DFD7C5C-2451- 11D3-A299- 00C04F8EF6AF} (= Folder Options)
.{00020801-0000- 0000-C000- 000000000046} (= Folder)
.{00021400-0000- 0000-C000- 000000000046} (= Another Folder)

Important: include the point and nothing before that!

Example: "rename ABC .{20D04FE0-3AEA- 1069-A2D8- 08002B30309D}"

Now wen you will see that the icon of tht folder has changed(No name) to My computer Icon.Now Make a shortcut to that folder, change the target and icon and you have a nameless shortcut.

I tested it on XP so I have no idea that it will work on 98,ME....
