So I did this with Windows 10 and now I have the folder name hidden, but for some reason the icon shows as a black box. Any ideas on how to get the box to go invisible?

I had that happen with windows 8 myself. The only fix I could find is to go back into the change icon section and change the icon back to one of the invisible ones agian. It can be a pain as it keeps changing back to black after a while. Did the folder go black as soon as you changed the icon or was it invisible at first and then turned black a little while later?

pretty cool.

you should rename your channel in youtube in QuickAndSimpleTutorials.

Because thats what they are.

Thanks :)

I'll keep that in mind
