Change Any Folder ICON To A Recycle Bin ICON

Great trick to hide your folders by changing the Folder ICON to Recycle Bin ICON even if you have something in it the Recycle Bin Icon will show empty because its a folder so it will provide more safety :D

Follow the steps:

1. Select a folder

2. Press F2 (or right click --> rename)


3. And type ".{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" (without quotes) after the name of the folder.

Example : If you want a change the ICON of folder named “Games”

Right click --> Rename to

Games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Note : To change the folder icon back to its original icon remove the extension by renaming it in DOS. Suppose your Games folder is in D: drive


Unlike the Recycle Bin it can be deleted very easily.
