Hidden Files

I don't know if there is a way to hide your files, but I do know that there is a program that allows you to put passwords on specified folders! I really hope that makes you want your daughter to keep her ten fingers, haha! :D

it's so simple. here's a link for you that will explain everything in complete detail. hope it helps. http://tinyurl.com/2c9np *snicker*

I don't have any answers for you but I am loving your question and will be reading this for some solutions as well. I had a ton of pics on here that I was editing and planned on printing up for a scrapbook and when I went to work on it one night...lo & behold....no pics at all. The same goes for my music and other things. Granted my daughter uses this computer more than I do but still....It does get quite frustrating doesn't it?

I am even dumber, but maybe someone can help you as I do not like the thought of anyone losing their little fingers.. If my son was at home, I would get him to help, he is good and he takes care of all of that stuff for me, but he isn't so I am of no help to you.. How you doing stormy??

lol it started as a question now its just really funny

y do u want 2 create a hidden file anyways???This time she might 4rmat d hard disk...y take chances??? i wud suggest u 2 rather store photos in Hotmail or any photo storage sites..... Hey...Mylot is not a bad option either u c....

You have many options for hiding files or folders, and also security measures can also be taken by giving password to the folder to be opened. One simple way is that you can hide it in files like windows or program files where files are usually not kept so that she won't bother to check out there, but you have to be careful too as deleting anything in windows folder will be of great loss. There is a software called winrar by which you can zip up many files in one and also reduce the size also, with this winrar you have option for password too so you can keep your files password protected. There is another common method of hiding files and thats by hidding the folder so that she won't see it.

I've had that happen a time or two. I can say that I keep my photos stored in my hotmail - cheap storage there and doesn't fill up my hard drive. As for the written text, you can password protect them - LOL - just don't forget your password.
