Computer Puzzle

[svengali]

For reasons I won't go into I will be sharing my home computer with a young student for a few weeks - he will be using it while I am at work.

On my computer, among other things are a couple of folders which hold my porn stash and I would rather the munchkin doesn't get into that.

Is there some way of "hiding" a folder or two or should I transfer it to a USB stick until the coast is clear?

For said naughty file Put a heading such as
Here are your chores for the day I doubt he will open them. Same as if you told him they were private and not for him to read. If he respects his Uncle Sven he shouldnt either
But as you say a USB can guarantee you privacy

I remember as a kid finding my dads old Playboy stash. I was a happy chappy for weeks.

Just show him then you won't feel caught out this day and age he's probably already seen it !

And he has the computer I am sure he knows how to find some if he wants to

Ah!! Thank you Billy. That looks like the answer.

That is the snag with these tech-savvy youngsters - he probably has a bigger stash than me squirelled away somewhere but if he got into mine and his Mum found out .....................!!

just put your self in administrator account and the other guy a user account, then hide
the folder containing your porn. (right click the folder, select general, the click hide.

To see it again, contol panel, folder options, then selct show hidden files.!
