How To Create An Invisible Folder

[Rockstar1983]

ahhh right ok you had the vista bug i forgot about that, yeah its a bug within windows vista that doesnt allow you delete it ater as it doesnt see it as a folder, there are two ways to do this the 1st is to do what you did, add it to an archive and delete it that way, or the 2nd but more complicated way is to delete it via CMD im gonna add in details of the bug at the start of my post cheers rockstar

No problem, man. Thought I'd share my experience here, incase someone else ran into the same problem that I did (Which, if they have Vista, they probably will). Glad I found the WinRAR trick, because trying to do command-prompt stuff makes me feel like a complete dribbling idiot. For some reason, I just can't master the syntax.

EDIT: I see where you've added to the top post, but make sure to add that you MUST add the folder to an archive, *then* select "Delete files after archiving" to get rid of it, otherwise the trick won't work. Also, I've only tested it in WinRAR, not WinZip, but it should work as long as there's an option to delete after archiving.
