right-clicked on a new folder to rename it, held ALT, and typed 0160 (or 255) but it didn't work. I created this question not as a question, but to answer my question because this thread is locked.

You want to make sure you have num lock on, and then while holding down alt, type 1260 or 255 on the numpad and then release alt. Press enter, and then the folder is named w/o a name. I hope this helped! (:
