hiding your stuff

Name: flip !/2JZBp763k 2007-05-13 11:20 ID:9JemoIqr

what do you use to hide your stuff in XP? just making a folder "hidden" is not great, especially if you move your drive to someone's pc who has hidden folders visible by default.

i once just put my stuff in a folder i expected nobody to view, but there's smarter ways. freeware, shareware, something built into windows already - whatever - some of it sucks, but 4chan must be full of people hiding their secret pron folders etc.

so i'm interested to know what most people's methods of hiding their stuff are.

Just zip up what you're trying to hide, then make it an ADS on some file.  Just make sure that the combined size seems reasonable, E.G. people won't get suspicious.

It's totally invisible to the average user; unlike the ext2 fs partition, you can't see it if you go into any of the tools built into windows; you have to know of its existence ahead of time.

Also, nobody knows about ADS because it's such a minor feature of NTFS, made, really, to enhance compatibility with Mac OS. Since Apple has stopped using resource forks (the apple name for ADS) since they started in with OS X they've fallen into disuse on NTFS as well.
