Calling all Windows geeks!!*NEED HELP FAST PLEASE!!*

[Mewfour]

Oh God, where to begin?

My mom's suddenly gone psychoChristian, and any and all of my things (CDs, files, drawings, games, you name it) are automatically deemed Satanic. I need to know a good method to keep my stuff on my account on my family comp hidden and unrecoverable to all except me. I heard that encryption is a good way, but I don't know a lick about it. I don't care what you say I have to do to keep it totally hidded. I'll kill the freakin' Prime Minister if I have to. I need my stuff hidden, and I need it hidded GOOD. Please help? Please please please please please?

Man, that sounds like the people I know, they think everything is satanic, unless its godly thankfully my mom isn't like that

anyways, Um..., on my computer you can lock files, that need a password to get into, you could do that. Or...just hide them all in an unsuspecting folder. *shrugs* I'm not really a windows geek

Select whatever > Right Click > Properties > Hidden

If you wanna get it back then:

View > Folder Options > View > All Hidden & System Files.

Put all your files in a Winzip file. Then put that in another folder named "homework" or something. Make that folder hidden. Put that folder in your My Documents folder. Since your using your own account, fo to Accounts in the Control Panel and set up a password. Change it every so often. If she's checking to see what websites you're going to (aka Porn), maske sure you change your saved History to 0 days. Also run a seach for bad sounding things (mainly cookies) and delete all the ones that appear. Hopefully, she won't become to suspicious.

best method right there. unless you want to zip/rar them all up into one file and hide them somewhere.

[Aglandiir]

Buy your own computer.

[Aipom Of Doom]

get a hard drive, install it, move stuff to it, take it out, hide it somewhere .

Or password-protect the admin account and make anotehr account that doesn't have privileges to delete your stuff.

[homeofmew]

well you should have someone talk to your mom.
God wants us to live happily, we only live once you know.
yes password protect your account and put on the thing where
after the screen saver was on you have to enter you password again.
Burn it on disks or Zip it, or try to pursuade her you own christian music and files.

for all the stuff i wanna hide, i just get rid of the file extension (.jpg for example)so it would be impossible to access simply by clicking on it.

[Dark Scizor]

If you have Windows XP and your own username.



If not, then listen to Yoh Asakura.

[freshmex]

stop looking at porn and getting caught

[abunaidesu]

kill your parents, get the insurance, buy a new computer

[RedStarWarrior]

I think YA provided a very good solution to your dilemma. Of course, freshmex and Kiyone's solutions are also viable. I believe that your question has been answered.
