- Finding your invisible folder
  Once your folder is invisible, all you have to do is click and drag on your desktop and you should see an outline of the folder.

how to get rid of the new folder name
I am using a laptop, I can get the invisible folder icon but I can't get rid of the (new folder) name. How do I do that on a laptop?

For
Some reason, the text stays the same. It doesn't get invisible. Yes, I pressed Alt first then typed in 0160 and right clicked. Nothing really changed.

- try this then
  press numlock to ensure that you use numbers... press Alt, and keep it down while typing in those numbers... if you use a laptop, use the numbers on the letters, not the "number-row"... do u understand???

Where did it go?
hehe, neat.
Now also set the attribute to hidden (and turn off showing hidden files/folders) and we're talking truly invisible :D

  Im not sure what yo are doing wrong. Make sure you use the number keypad on the right-hand side of your keyboard.
  
  Make sure you are holding the ALT key at the same time as you type the number.
  
  I've tried this a million times and it works perfectly.
  
  Good luck.
