I M trying to hide the folder name as explains but nothing happen when type 0160 while holding ALT. I use OS Window7

I use winsesame and it's OK

This trick is known to most of computer geeks. As a network admin, I prefer to use a more secure option to lock my files with this program - http://www.top-password.com/protect-my-folders.html

This solution can only hide files on computer, but for more important files, it's not secure. It's better to use a specific file password protection to protect important and sensitive files with passwords.
