    I have used mysecretfolder.

    get it from a torrent.

    (right now, I don't hide shit)

    You should just make your folders hidden.

    Unless you use the same edition of windows as me where all folders are shown)

    If you want to hide your shit, do this:

    download a zipping program like winrar zip up everything and add a password to it, then take off the extension and remember it.

    If you want to be even more causious, zip up your zipped file with another extension.

    i'm a nerd... lol.. just a collection i had.. none of them were ran.. some were public releases.. some were custom made and undetectable... i use to have my HS's PC lab completely infected with an undetectable Sub7 server.. so when i was not in class.. or home sick.. i could fuck with the computers at the school.. it was fun to fuck with the teachers computer while he had his computer on the projector.. popping up random message boxes and porn sites.. lol.. I also use to scan IP ranges all day long for old unpassworded trojans and reinfect with my own.. if i stubbled upon a pedo.. i would usually dump about 20 or so different virii on him

    just make folders invisible, although they wont be invisible to searches etc.

    right click on a folder, and check the box 'invisible'

    then open a folder, in the top bar hit 'tools' then 'folder options' then 'view' and make sure invisible folders are not visible

    I remember, back when I was booting Windows 2000, if you were to right click on the folder and go into 'Properties' and search around on there and it would say something about password protecting.

    Screw folders.

    Best application for windows period. It creates a partition basically that you can just drop whatever you want in (folders, filers, music, porn, whatever). Trust me, you have to be japanese to break the encryption.

    i just put my porn in a folder that's stored where people aren't likely to stumble across. of course, everyone that uses my computer knows i'm a pervert so there wouldn't be any big surprises if someone did see it
