So check it out .. I have a file on my computer that is for my eyes only .. we'll just leave it of that. So I thought that if i went in to the file properties, and checked the "hidden" box, that I would still be able to lacate the file via search. However, that doesn't work.

So uh .. where is my file?

it's hidden of course, lol. There are tons of files on your computer that are hidden. If you change the folder properties to "show hidden files" it will appear as a translucent file. If you really want to hide your pron I mean your "for your eyes only" just zip it up with a password protection. It's a great way to secure files and important docs. WinRar can do it for sure.

Haha! well, it's nothing like you think it is, lol. It's mainly all of my financial records, passwords, pin numbers .. anything that is seriously private stuff.

Thanks for the tip though. I like the zip idea.

K, now I can't put a password on it .. such an idiot .. lol

still having problems revealing the hidden file?

no i took care of that. zipped it up, but i can't apply a password to it.

oh ok, download

winrar.
