Create Files And Folders With No Name and Icons

Ok! in the last few posts we have been dealing with the internet related hacks and vulnerabilities.So its time for some windows related Tweaks or Hack( whatever you call it !! )

I guess most of the people know about this thing.But some days back, while I was chatting with some of my friends I found that this is a new thing for them.They wanted to know more on this topic.So now I am blogging it here.

So what is our topic...? Well, Yeah How to create a no name folder or file..?

In the final parts I will tell you all about how to make a  folder or a file invisible.OK then, Lets get back to the topic...

So here is the scenario

I have created a folder named " swaroop's " on my desktop.Within that folder there is another folder with the name " make me invisible" . So this is our test folder.On the first part I will tell you how to save the folder with no name ( not really though!!).

There are two methods to create a no name folder :

Both are somewhat similar

Select the folder  " make me invisible" press F2( function key 2) to rename the folder.Hey, Instead, you can also right click on the folder and select to rename.

Now press and hold Alt key and type the following numbers in the same sequence "0160" from the NUMPAD without quotes. and press enter.So what are we doing here..?

We are inserting a "Non Breaking Space" as the name of the folder.

Alternatively :

You can hold Alt Key and type " 255" from the NUMPAD without quotes and press enter.This will also yield you the same results.

Then you will get a folder similar to the one shown below.

NB:

You can try to create a no name folder with the space bar on your key board.You will be surprised to see that it will not work.

The most important thing is that, if you use the number keys on the the top of the character keys this trick is not going to work.You must use NUMPAD.

To create more no name folders or files on the same folder  you can press and hold Alt key and type 0160 or 255 one more time you entered comparing last time.Every time you press the key combination one Non Breaking Space is added to the name.(ie, ALT+255 release ALT (for 1 blank character) press and hold ALT +255 and release ALT(for 2 spaces)  and so on) 

Ok,  now time to make this folder invisible from sight.

Follow  these steps:

1) right click on the folder

2) select properties

3) select the customize tab

4) click on the change icon button

5)select a blank icon  from the list

6)click Ok

7) Click OK in the properties window

The result will be as shown below

To find out the hidden folder you can press the key combination "Alt + a" at the same time ( without the + sign and quotes)

you will see a similar view to the one shown below

Catch Invisible Friends On An Instant Messenger !!

So now I will tell you about something which will be very fun to try out.

So why are we here?  What is the fun thing...?

Hey I am just there....Many of us stay invisible in Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk etc to avoid unnecessary chat requests and spam. Yeah, I know you have many more reasons to stay invisible. But being in the ETHICAL side let us not discuss it here!! .

Here we will learn how I used to detect the status of my friends in IM's.I will be concentrating mainly on detecting the status in Yahoo and Google IM's.

Yahoo Messenger

Here I will give you some links and their uses. Using this method you cannot find out the invisible mode of the person. But it is easy to know the ONLINE or OFFLINE status of your friends. The main advantage of this method is that you never have to login to your account to know the status of your target.

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=g&t=0 

You will get a yellow smiley if the person is online and gray if the person is offline or invisible

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=g&t=1

This will fetch you a button with “Online Now” or “Not Online”

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=g&t=2

We will get an image with “I am Online send me a message” or “Not Online right now”

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=g&t=[number from 0 to 24]

Similarly you can change the [number from 0 to 24] to any number from 0 to 24 to get different icons displaying the status of the target.

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=a&t=0

Shows a text with “[Target’s username] is ONLINE or NOT ONLINE”

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=a&t=1

This will show a value “00” if person is offline and value “01” if he is online

NB: You will have to change the [Target's username] in the above shown URL’s to the yahoo ID you want to detect.  

For Eg: If my Email ID is “hackingwithswar”

So http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[Target's username]&m=a&t=1

Will have to be in the form

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=hackingwithswar&m=a&t=1

NB:

We can use these links discussed above to set or hide your status on your blog or site.Think How..?   

We cannot find out the real status of person who is in the “invisible “mode. It will be shown as  he is “Offline”. So in order to solve this problem we can use the method discussed below.

Yahoo Invisibility detection sites

While surfing the net I came across many sites which help us to get the real status of the person of our choice.

Feel free to click on the links to try it out yourself and have fun

Gtalk 

There is a simple trick to know if a Gtalk Friend is online or not

First login to the Gtalk application with your Gmail ID

Then activate the chat window of the profile you need to check the status in the Gtalk.

The Next step is to activate "off the record" function in the chat window of the Victim

Here you can see that you do not receive an  alert when you send your chat

Now we get two kind of responses depending on the status of the Victim.They are :

1) When the Victim is in invisible mode

  In the image displayed below ,you can see that no alerts are generated.So we can be sure that ,the Victim is Online,but in the Invisible Mode!!

2)When the Victim is really Offline
