Editing Name Witchcraft

This article will go over a method of hiding shit in a folder with two levels of protection. 

=Windows Easter Eggs=
In windows, there are several odd behaviours displayed when you use certain file/folder names. By combining these, you can pretty safely store files.

==Con==
If you try to make a file/folder named con, you will get an error. This is because it is a file name reserved from DOS. However, you can get around this by creating it with a network path: "\\.\c:\full\path\name\con"

==Control Panel==
Another trick in windows, is that if you make a folder and change the extension to {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}, then when you click on it you see the control panel (and the ext is hidden). You can also toggle back and forth with command prompt.

=The Trick=
What this file-hiding-hack does is explained here.

==How-To==
Make a directory, and fill it with shit. Then, move it to this path (rename it) "\\.\c:\windows\system32\con.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}". It acts like the control panel, lives in the system32 directory (a logical place for the control panel), and is unrenamable. You can't search within it, can't delete it, etc.

==Script==
There is a premade script for this, courtesy of pseudolobster.

  @echo off
  if exist con.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\nul goto toggleoff
  if exist porn\nul goto toggleon
  md "\\.\%cd%\con.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
  goto end
  :toggleoff
  move "\\.\%cd%\con.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" porn>nul
  goto end
  :toggleon
  move porn "\\.\%cd%\con.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}">nul
  :end

Just put in the system32 directory, and run it to toggle between hidden and normal mode.

''Update: Because of heavy fail at Microsoft Corporation, this trick does not work on Windows Vista. A solution/workaround is always welcome.''
