Well, either find a password program for it so it's password protected...

Or under folder options uncheck "show hidden files", then for your porn folder check "hidden."

Or stand by your computer with a baseball bat and smack anyone who comes near.

Ummm, what part didn't work?
You don't have to set up any other users.

Just go to your folder, right click and select properties...check "hidden"

The go to the top toolbar, tools, folder options, check "Do not show hidden files"

Do or do not. There is no try

that might not work if the other person is computer literate and knows that trick

If your using 2k or XP with NTFS just set the file permissions. If your using 98 or ME then try Magic Folders http://www.pc-magic.com/des.htm#mf

what kinda dirt you got? stinky pron?

What OS are you using?

you protect a folder by defregging regularely and doing a checkdisk. that way all the files will be ok.

also,. turn your computer off at night. it will keep the HDD from overheating and buring out.

you can also protect your folder by doing a backup to tape or digital tape. by doing this you can restore you folder to original condition with no messy cleanup.

also. watch your virus . virus are not good to keep in folders. if you have a virus keep it restricted to an area on your computer where it can do minimal harm

Good Luck

Careful with defragging porn too much. You got that whole hairy palms/blindness thing to deal with.

You could try this one from WebAttack.
A freeware version with the ability to hide 2 folders and a Pro Version that hides a whole heap more.

Croc.

Free version has no password function. IMHO not worth the time testing. Other options/apps already suggested are far better.

Crocedit.

need a place to store your dirt .. okay if you need good protection you should get your own computer.. but if you want to keep it online instead.. just get a web documents folder on msn. dude its free and you get 30MB per user name.. if you have a much bigger pile of dirt you can use MaxCrypt its easy and if you happen to forget to hide it, it will do it for you when you shutdown windows... I assume you are using windows.
Anyways go for it.. I give you two options .. let it not be your only ones.
