Hi,

Copied from a web site. Haven't tried this nor do I care to, but you ask :>)
>>>If you want to do individual files in XP (ultimate hiding trick), right
>>>click on the file, go down to properties. Under properties select change
>>>icon. make sure the icon directory is windows/system32. select the blank
>>>icon. here comes the tricky part, now only the title is visible, right
>>>click on it and go to rename. Once your cursor is in the box press and
>>>hold ALT. while holding down ALT type 255 with the NUM pad, when you
>>>release the ALT key the name will be gone, and the icon will be
>>>completely blank, you must know the physical spot on the screen to open
>>>it. If you try to rename a file to a blank name, it will revert back to
>>>its original name, so the ALT 255 is necessary.<<<

All the best,
