Create a new folder on your desktop

While holding down the 'Alt' key rename it to 0160

Then right click and select 'Properties', then 'Customise' then click on the 'Change Icon' button near the bottom. Scroll along a bit and choose a blank icon.

Then click on 'OK' then 'Apply'
And like magic it dissapears :eek:
But it's still there if you highlight it, a good way of hiding stuff you dont want others to see
