Hiding Folders in windows - the Hacker way Without Software

Hiding Folders in windows

Concept :-

We Make a folder that looks like control panel or recycle bin
when system admin (victim) tries to access it he'll get directed to the location Control Panel or Recycle Bin depending on the folder you named

But if you try to access it using ftp or total commander you get straight into your folder

Lets Do this :-

1. Make A folder , put some contents in it (if you wish to)

2. Rename it "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
without the quotes to make it look like control panel

3. Double click on it

4. Voila you land into control panel

5. Try to access the same folder with total commander or via ftp client . you can easily view the contents

Extra Stuff:-

to make it look like other things try these :-

Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}
Recycle Bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My Documents.{ECF03A32-103D-11d2-854D-006008059367}
Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}


Note:- You can change the name to anything
i mean it can be

MYFOLDER.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

but still it will look like control panel
just make sure to keep the extension same

One good look :-
Look At the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionexplorerDesktopNameSpace

it contain the sets of folder extensions that u can use

I think thats all for this tutorial
