Creating an unnamed file or folder in Windows is not a simple task. Even if you put a space instead of the name, you will not be able to do the task. Here I am going to present a trick on how create a nameless file or folder and how you can make a previously present file or folder nameless.

Creating a new Nameless file or folder:

  1. Right click anywhere (which is not an icon or button) and then select New . Now select the folder or type of file you want to create.

Note 1: In the step 3, you will have to type 255 on the numeric keypad, not the numbers that are present above qwerty.

Note 2: If you have to create more than one blank named files or folders in the same directory, you can press the Alt + 255 two times for the second one, three times for the third one and so on,while renaming the file or folder.

ENJOY & HAPPY LEARNING!
