[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1577744"] I don't really have any data I consider sensitive enough to bother doing any of that. I may be an atypical consumer, but about the most sensitive info I keep on my computer other than pictures of nekkid people (all adults, I assure you) are my previous tax filings ... and the government already has a copy. I am not bothered by Facebook or the NSA knowing that I am nuts about Doctor Who and Devo and routinely go to the theatre, or that I find black humour funny. I block their ads. My tastes run to the obscure but decidedly boring, I try to obey all just laws, and I don't like a lot of what's popular so I'm a bit difficult to market to. :) I appreciate that some people have to keep info they consider sensitive on their computer -- business data or medical/financial stuff, et al. The method you describe works fine, a program like [URL="http://macpaw.com/hider"]Hider 2[/URL] goes the extra step and makes the file/folder invisible, if you need that. [/QUOTE]
