I guess making passworded archive isn't an option?
Some things like Word documents should have an option to set password on their own, but I don't know of any programs to do that.

Applications -> Security -> Folders and Files -> In the list, change it to "Free." I set a password to my whole computer, my My Documents, my My Computer, Task Manager, and Internet Explorer with one of the programs I got there.

Okay, we officially need them to release the Zerg. We're getting way too relaxed with each other.

I remember there was a program that could encrypt files and require them a password to access the files. I forgot what it was called so not much help to you there. What I suggest you do is burn all your "h-movies" onto a DVD and delete all the ones on your computer. Then you can just insert the disk and as long as you keep it hidden, you'll be good. Enjoy!

another easy course is to just enable the option to see file extensions, you know like the ".mp3" on the end of mp3 files or the ".zip" on the end of zip files etc...

then change the file extension to ".bak" to call it a backup file, then turn the viewing file extensions option back off

anybody who sees the files will just think they're some strange archive and will be unable to open any of them....

of course that might be a bit time consuming with that much stuff.... you could just get a hobby that doesn't involve lotion and delete the files
