Here is a nice tips for you to hide your important folder.

How?? Use software?? No
Hide as hidden folders?? No
Is Invisible it!!!

You may invisible your folder(s) at anywhere on your Desktop.......

How to do it:
Step 1: Create a new folder somewhere on your hard drive or select the folder that you want to make it invisible.

Step 2: Rename your folder with empty value,(don't confirm it yet) then hold down "Alt" and press "0160″ (must use numpad key) and confirm it.
(Note: "0160″ is been identify as an invisible space, this will make the folder appear as it has no name)

Step 3: Righ click your mouse on the folder and select "Properties". Select the tab "customize" and select the "change icon". Scroll along the way and you will able see a few blank spaces. Click on any one of it and click ok.

Yahooo, you have successfully created an invisible folder.

This tips only appliable on those PC with numpad keys. Therefore, it will no work on laptops. Unless you laptops got numpad key la. tongue.gif

Yup. You guys can try Universal Shield. Quite not bad, you can lock Partition Drives, Folders, and files. Very easy to use, key in password into the software, an a button to unlock and lock button. Just a click. wink.gif

It's a shareware. Check its site, Everstrike. I'm using Lock Folder XP, less functions compared to Universal Shield.
