In this first step, you will need to make sure that Windows XP is configured to use drop-shadow icon titles. Here's how:



1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.

2. Click the Advanced tab in the resulting window.

3. Click the Settings button inside the Performance pane

4. Click the Visual Effects tab.

5. Scroll down until you see the entry "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop". If it's not checked, go ahead and check it now.

6. Click OK.



Now Windows will not include a rectangular background around the icon text.



In this next step, we will create our invisible title. Since Windows will not accept a space as a file name, we will need to use a character that is invisible. The ANSI character "0160" is a non-breaking space and is visually indistinguishable from a space. We will need to insert this ANSI character into the icon title box, here's how:



1. Right click an icon and select Rename (or single click the icon and press F2)

2. Hold down the Alt key and type 0160 on your numeric keypad, then release the Alt key.

3. Press Enter.



Note: You will now see a highlighted rectangle that represents the invisible title but a single click on a blank area of your desktop will make this disappear.



To make a second icon have an invisible title, just insert the special ANSI character twice into the icon title box. (eg: ALT + 01600160) This is necessary because Windows will not allow duplicate file names.

You cannot create two folders with the exact same name within the same folder. As you wish to do this on your desktop, the folders you create are inside the desktop folder. What you could do is place an a,b,c or a number, 1,2, or 3 for each folder which has the same name and you need multiples. For example,



Folder

Foldera

Folderb

or

Folder_a

Folder_b

Folder1

Folder2

Folder_1



You don't want spaces in between your folder names if you are going to access them via a command prompt. If you do, make sure you place the full path name in quotation marks.



To create a folder on your desktop without giving it a name, simply accept the default name New Folder.



To create a folder with the name con, simply type con into the space provided when creating the folder.



When you right click your desktop and select New--Folder, a folder with the default name New Folder is created. It is also ready for data input because usually people do not leave it as New Folder. Where is says New Folder simply type in con.



Now, you can have the same name on folders which are inside of different folders. Lets say you create a folder named System, you can create a sub-folder within that System folder named System too.



So, if you create a folder on your desktop named con, you can then open that folder and create a sub-folder named con.



You can also have a folder named con on your desktop and then place other items in it instead of on the desktop to create a more orderly arrangement.



Hope this helps, good luck.

To answer Q1

create the new folder and press alt + 255 (use the nums key pad)





Q3

just create a folder with any name in Root Drive:\Users\Public\Desktop



now you can create a folder with same name on Desktop as it will be created in Root Drive:\Users\”Your UserName”\Desktop



but both will be visible on the desktop



If instead Vista, you are using Winows XP, you can create first folder in “All Users” folder
