So you're looking to hide your porn. Just put it on your desktop imo.

Haha... right click on the folder, go to Properties. Click the box at the bottom that says Hidden then close out of that.

Up top click on Tools > Folder Options then click on the View tab. scroll down and click the "Do not show hidden files / folders" radio button.

It will not show up in a search this way either. For passwords it is a little more complicated. To see the folder you just reverse the Tool > Folder options steps.

yeah i did that before then just threw that folder inside another folder. maybe hide it in one of your program or windows folders that no one would really look into.

It's the best way. You can also password protect it. Done. Or do the lazy job and hide the folder, but if its THAT important then do what I said.

zip it and password protect it. then cut and past the zip into a system folder that nobody ever checks (live windows/system) then make sure you follow the directions above to make the folder invisible.

Nobody will see it and it is also password protected.

99.999% of people think they do a good job at hiding junk.. A quick and simple file search proves them wrong.. A simple type of "sex" or XXX or XX or even just plain "porn" will quickly make all your password protected and "hidden" junk quickly visible. Yes if its password protected then I might not be able to open it....
