i need help to protect my files from grandparents...

aha, tuna, everytime i read ur posts, i end laughing

anyway, if u hide the folder, u still have a problem: if ur parents go to "find files or folders" option and type what u are actually hiding, they will find it, even if it is hidden or not

the best way to protect files, i would say, is to download a program that protects files by asking a password in order to be granted acess... i remember buying a very old magazine where i saw such a program... the name? i dont remember. still if u go to google and search for such programs, i bet u will find something useful

So what did I said about my way?
jeez read first the other posts!
Rename, Replace, Secure.
Gotta work, kinda 3 hiding ways.

Another option is creating a map, putting the files in and making the map totaly invisble.
But that is a little hard, for not so advanced-pc users I guess.
