Need to Hide Your Folders?


HK-42

Recommended Posts

I was looking on the web for a free program to hide folders from my bro & my parents and i found a great program for it its called Free Hide Folder(explains it all) Its simple and easy to use so there is no computer ed needed. Here is the link. Hope you like it. Also i am very weary of programs since 1 of my coms crashed from a virus so I ran a full virus scan by McAfee on the program and it came out clean Have Fun hiding

 

PS: I dont think this is against any rules mods if so srry. Go ahead and lock/delete it if it is

So, Darth Saruman, just what are you trying to hide and why? Oh, male teen. Never mind.

 

It's generally not wise to hide something on a family computer, because _someone_ is going to find it at some point, and then you'll have some serious 'spalin' to do....

 

Jae, don't you mean splainin'? Like ol' Ricky Recardo used to say to Lucy? Or am I waaaaaay off? :xp: -RH

 

crap, I misspelled my misspelling. :D

I don't even hide my stuff. I just RAR it, change the filename to something obscure (like .trv, or .epd etc.) and hide it inside some game's folders. Recently, I've taken to hiding it with a simple hidden folder on my Linux drive, since apparently nobody in my family goes near Linux (and wouldn't be able to find my stuff anyways, since only I have the password, and they don't know Linux) :p

I am ignoring every other post, except for TK's... his is the only one that I read unrelated to porn... but why exactly do you need to hide your folders? :confused: Well... nevermind, I probably would, cause I wasn't supposed to install Kotor on this computer... but I kinda did it, but thank fully there are very few people in my family who actually know how to manuver through folders on the other people's "computer" ^_^ Actually there is only two of us... My mom and step-dad don't know how to do it... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... wooopsies... sorry... had to have a bit of an "evil" moment there. :D Have fun hiding your folders... I can hide them in plain sight, and no one would know the difference. :)

its probably likely that sarauman has porn on his comp :p but he might not so why the **** are we assuming he does anyway??? OMG! My bro waches lots of it, I know because once he told me and other times if I walk into his room he covers his monitor and shouts GET OUT... I just call him a rent boy.

 

Edit: I know i'm not, but are you all obsessed with porn?!

Considering no-one in my family goes on my computer, I don't have to bothering with hiding anything. That being said, I don't have anything slap-bang in the middle of my desktop, but rather in folders that I've obscurely named, like "temp", or something similar, so if any of my family did think about snooping around, they most likely wouldn't notice it, seeing as how they aren't very tech-savvy anyway.

Thanks for noticing. :D

 

I have an evil I.T. department at work that likes to run audits on my PC and then call me up. "Why do you have Cain and Abel installed on your PC?" :o "Ooh, I just needed to get into an old Excel file that I had forgotten the password for long ago..." After that, Free Hide Folders became something I kept around though I haven't used it for anything in a long time.

 

It's a handy program to have when you need it. I only wish it would work on USB sticks or network shares as well. :xp:

No not really , but its like the main thing to hide :p

 

Though now I think about it , my friend had to hide Carmaggedon from his mom .

She didn't like violant games , so he had to hide his games :lol: , well most of them .

 

Anyway she kept this up for about 2 years . And its all long in the past .

 

So I guess there's more to hide then just pQrns .

I just use TrueCrypt to encrypt files I don't want to get caught with. If I want plausible deniability, I could make a hidden TC partition.

 

 

Another easy way you could prevent people from snooping at your files would be to mess with Window's user security stuff. Right now, I have my PC set up so that if someone wanted to use my PC, they log into a guest account, and all they can pretty much do is surf the net. Access Denied!

 

Don't know how you use your computer. Never understood why families that share PCs don't create user accounts.
