Some people call it Easter egg, but I think that it does not have anything to do with it. If you are looking for a real Easter egg in Vista, click here. This bug or feature lets you hide the name of folders and files in Windows Explorer giving a more compact  and tidy look to the whole  window. To take advantage of this feature (or bug) read this trick:

  3. Select your Hard Disk.
