For all of you people that feel the need to hide files and folders from prying eyes, download Cryptainer LE, it's free!
I really don't need it, as I burn my shit to cd, but sometimes I like to keep a folder on my desktop filled with stuff I don't want people that come over to visit me see. I downloaded it and I'm trying it now, so far it rocks!
Some might consider this to be borderline spam, but quit frankly, I find this tool to be the answer to some of the questions being asked on here.
