Re: More BE for your Buck
If you're looking to hide your files you can try some of the methods I did.
One is to save everything in a folder of a folder in program files. Name it something that sounds technical. If your family doesn't know much about the innerworkings of program files and is likely to NEVER check so deep, it'll work fine. It won't be searchable in the start menu (at least on vista) and it's really really obscure. The only problem I had with this is that on Vista, sometimes the files would disapear, and I could view them with a "save as" or "load/open" but not in the actual file. I guess that provides added security but I couldn't move them either, so I had to get Unlocker to do that. So I don't highly recomend this method unless you know how to prevent this.
Now that I have my own computer, I hide it in plain site on my downloads section. However, I've given it a "filey" sounding name, and changed the icon. Combine that with hiding it somehere in a subfolder of a subfolder, and make sure you clear out your "recent files" on your start menu, and you're good.
