[QUOTE="rubaiyat, post: 1627807, member: 240393"] You can hide a folder or file by typing a period (full stop) in front of the name. [url=http://ianlunn.co.uk/articles/quickly-showhide-hidden-files-mac-os-x-mavericks/]Quickly Show/Hide Hidden Files on Mac OS X Mavericks & Yosemite | Ian Lunn - Front End Developer[/url] Just remember where you left it and don't accidentally trash the folder it is in. Probably the best is however to create an encrypted .dmg file in [B]Disk Utility[/B]. That way you can just double click it, enter the password and use the contents straight from the .dmg.
