Now press backspace to remove the default name(' New Folder') of the folder.

Now press hold the ALT key and along with it press the digit 9 from the number Keypad (only) eight times.

Now you will get a nameless folder.Actually pressing ALT with 9 for eight times creates a space which cannot be seen.

Now Right click on nameless folder and select 'Properties' from mouse menu. Next in properties dialog box click on 'Customize' option.

Click on 'Select Icon' (in the lower part of box) option and a new icon window will open.

Now from icon window select the icon which is an empty blank square with no border probably located in the 14th column of 1st row and 13th column of second,third and fourth row. Select any one of them. Now Save and apply the changes and Refresh, and you have an invisible folder.
