Create Files and Folders without name

We can create Files and Folders without name, to do this follow the steps below

Select any file or folder. 

Right click with mouse on the file or folder then select rename or press F2 key and select rename.
Keep pressing Alt key and hold it, then type 0160 from numeric pad.

Note: Numeric Pad numbers on the right side of he keyboard are only keys to use. Don’t use numbers on the function keys.

After typing the number from numeric pad then press Enter key. Now your File or Folder is created without any name.

Tip: 0160 number is ASCII code for space.

Note: if you want to create more than one folder or files then repeat the 1 to 3 steps again. And press Enter key after finishing your job.

Problem: These nameless folders or files some times can not be deleted then restart your computer in “SAFE” mode and then delete those files or folders.

Protect your folder with password

How To Protect your folder with password

Well here is a way to do that. In this section I will show you how to make a password protected folder in Windows XP, Vista without using any additional software. Following is the step by step procedure to create a password protected folder.

1: Create a new folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder) and give it any name of your choice. For instance you name it as HME.
2: Now place all the important files, documents or any other folder in this folder that you want to password protect.

3: Now Right-click on this folder (HME) and select the option Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder.
4: Now a new compressed zipped folder gets created next to folder (HME) with the same name.
5: Double-click on this compressed zipped folder and you should see your original folder (HME) there.
6: Now go to the File menu and select the option Add a password. ie: File -> Add a password

You will get small pop up window here. You can set your desired password. Once the password is set, It will ask for the password every time it is opened. Thus you have now created the password protected folder.

Note: if you are using WinRAR software do the same but it creates .rar folder

Find your stolen iPhone

Find My iPhone
The technology available at iCloud it's now possible to locate your device provided it still has access to some sort of data connection (cellular or Wi-Fi). This won't work if your device is not using the Find My Phone service, has run out of battery or was last seen in Airplane Mode, but it's certainly worth a shot.

Open iCloud.com, login with your Apple ID and the same password you use to authorize app purchases and click on Find My iPhone. iCloud will attempt to locate your device, if found you can take a note of whether it's moving, whether it's down the back of the sofa or indeed whether it appears somewhere entirely different to you last had it in which case, it's probably been stolen.

Using iCloud.com it's possible to initiate a remote wipe of the phone, which will cause the phone to reset itself to factory settings and preserve your data. To do this by logging in, clicking on Find My iPhone then selecting the device and enabling Lost Mode. Don't forget to leave a message and a phone number in the hope that whoever took it might actually return it.If your phone has been stolen but remains traceable, you may want to hand the information over to the police. There have been a few examples, law enforcement have used Apple's Find My iPhone location data to recover stolen devices, though be prepared that this may not be the case.

If your phone has been updated to iOS 7, you've got another safety net in place in the form of Activation Lock. Even after wiping the device, it will require your own personal Apple ID and password to be usable. Until these credentials are provided, the phone will refuse to work as intended. It's useless to the thief, and not even Apple will unlock it.

You can tell if your phone has been updated to iOS 7 first and foremost by the graphical style. Apple introduced a new, cleaner interface. You can see the difference at-a-glance in the screenshot above (iOS 7 is on the right). You can also head over to Settings > General > About and look at the number under Version.
