^^ I always prefer to do the things manually rather than using 3rd party utilities. ;)

Why dont u guys just use truecrypt? Absolute peace of mind...guaranteed!!

Only prob I can think of is,if the person you are trying to hide it from is too smart and finds the truecrpyt drivers on ur system. That way they can smell that something's fishy but still no way to find out what or where.

I have posted about this trick long time back in following thread:

And have also posted at my site:

http://www.askvg.com/the-best-method-to-hide-files-folders-in-windows-without-using-3rd-party-utilities/

leaving the tutorial as it gives some info. but COOL guy beware not to do this in future.. this aint allowed here.. give proper source if you copy something. try to give these things as proved above opnly hampers your image and does not gives a nice impression.

I search in the forum and after searching posted that.
See the similar threads section at the bottom of the page.
Therefore there is no fault from my end and I also prefer to do the things manually rather than using 3rd party utilities.

Anyway... nice trick.. thanks :)

^^ I always prefer to do the things manually rather than using 3rd party utilities. ;)

Well..if there's a 3rd party utility which does my job perfectly, I'd rather use it than reinvent the wheel...especially when the privacy and security of my very top secret files are at stake:D

@gulgulumaal

I am not telling that 3rd party utilies are unsafe but u don't know what is written in its programming.

I can easily steal all you secret.

Yes there are many programs made for that purpose.

Thats why I and Vishal prefer manually work.

Hope u understand.
