[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1005409, member: 59143"] I actually had Hide Folders. Found the free version absolutely useless and insulting to be honest with you. Unless you actually pay for the real version, it hides absolutely nothing. On the surface it might seem like it does, but if someone is sitting at your computer, and sees the hide folders icon they might click on it, which reveals all of your "hidden stuff". Since I found it to be a gimmick in order to get you to pay for the real thing, I said goodbye. For sensitive data i have a hidden folder which was created by means of terminal. It works for the most part, but isn't fool proof since its security depends upon ME clearing the most recently opened path/folder in Finder. If I forget to do that, it's very easy for someone who knows what they're doing to get that info. For now, Keychain Access seems to be the most reasonable, free and already existing solution for OS X. Thanks though buddy. Doug Doug [/QUOTE]
