How to create two folders with the same name





We all know that Microsoft Widows don�t allow us to get two folders with the same name in the same place , and if you try this, you�ll get an error message telling you that that �A file with the name you specified already exists� like this one:

But here is the trick through which you can easily rename unlimited files with the same name
  1. Create two new folders in the same place, let�s say in the �Desktop�.
  2. Change the name of the first folder, �Openhow� for example.
  3. Make the second folder in the edit mode (click on the folder, and press F2).

  1. Right click on the name of the folder and choose �Insert Unicode control character�.
  2. You will see a secondary menu, choose any from the list, �RLM Right-to-Left mark� for example.
  3. Now you can change the name of this folder, and put the same name as the first folder and press �Enter�.
  4. Now you have two folders with the same name in the same area.
NB: You can have more than two folders with the same name in the same place , all you have to do is to choose an other character in step 5.

How to create a folder with NO name
