What we're gonna do is simple change the name of the folder to an invisble ASCII code and change the icon to a blank icon...which makes it seem invisible.
So here are the steps...
1. Make a new Folder
2. Turn your Num Lock On and 'hold' ALT key and type 0160 from NUMPAD [right end of keyboard]
3. Press Enter to Save the name of folder
4. Right Click the folder -> click Properties
5. Go to Customize Tab -> Click Change Icon
6. Scroll Left and choose the blank icon
7. Press OK...
Voila....you have an invisble folder which only u can find...
An Extra Tip-->
Simply right click on blank portion of folder in which u have the invisible folder -> Arrange Icons -> Untick Auto Arrange
This will enable u to drag ur invisble folder to a corner of the Parent folder so that no one can find it very easily...
Enjoy....!

i use a laptop too...
turn the NUMLOCK On...and type the number from the NUMPAD...NOT the numbers given above the QWERTY line
For laptop keyboards....the NumPad is usually On J K L keys [for lenovo] ...it should printed as alternate keys on the J K L I O P keys...look closely...
