leeds chimp Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I have a couple of files on the PC that I want to hide as they are a list of Xmas presents and dont want SWMBO to come across them.. Is there any way I can hide them...tried last year to put deep into the hard drive but since it had a couple of pics of coats etc in there it came up when she uploaded photos from her phone and I had to start again... Any idea?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Rename the file to a random type by changing the file extension. This works on earlier OS, later OS may still know it is a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypigeon Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Create a folder then right click hit properties select hidden just remember the path to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) as has been said get a cheep memory stick if you have not already got one then just keep it somewhere safe I may be wrong but on my computer photos tend to automatically end up in your photo files if you put them there or not Picasa will find them.

oscarsdad Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 As said, change the file extension to something different and then it wont open unless you change it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that you can access it by going into your email, which I presume only you have the password to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
