Hide Contents of A Folder From Vista Indexer !!

The idea behind this Vista tip is to create a folder which is invisible from the indexer. Please note that the files are neither encrypted nor hidden from anyone looking with Windows Explorer.

For your files to remain hidden, this secret folder needs a special extension
.{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}.

Create a normal folder, for example stuff. Now rename it with this special clsid extension. You will need the dot and the curly brackets.

stuff.{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}

Testing your hidden files

Create a file inside your folder with the .{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683} extension. For example 'Guy Stuff.doc'. Now search for Guy Stuff.doc. You should get a negative result, Vista's search will ignore files in this folder.

Just in case you believe this is a false result due to slow indexing, create another document in a regular folder, search for that document. You should have a positive result.

There is a fancy variation of my non-indexing tip, what you do is use a different clsid extension.
