I need to hide a few folders in XP

[[P][RO][CE][SS][OR]]

Basically THIS is a trial version of "Hide Folders XP" you should be able to unlock your private folders with this, and then lock them up with an encryption program, like Cryptainer LE found at Webattack.com. Enjoy, and don't get caught with your pants down

Hi Guys

I used to have ME and used a version of Hide Folders to hide a few "sensitive" folders that had a few "sensitive" pics in them.

I am now using XP and my old version of Hide Folders will not work. I will need to buy version 2.00 they say.

Does anyone know of a free utility that will do this easily ?

couldnt you just like go to the folder properties and click hide. And when you want to see it you could click show hidden folders

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the other users he wants to hide the folders from are computer savvy.

I hide mine that way

unless other people are actually looking for your stuff, it should suffice.

Getting a virus so you can't run any programs is a bit of an extreme way to hide your stuff imho

Hi guys,

Thanks for all of your suggestions, there were quite a few of them.

I still like the Hide Folders method as it served me well for 2 years on ME and will stop most people with just a little computer knowledge.

It is just that the files are on a computer that my 4 year old grandson uses and I would not want him to see them ! (nor my partner as she gets a bit upset when she sees them !)

A-ha! I see your problem.

The way I dealt with this situation was to copy everything "sensitive" onto CD-Rom, which I then kept stashed away safely hidden.. only to be brought out when the coast is clear...

Yes, stash them away under the bed, no one ever looks under the bed
