well you can hide a folder but you would have to remember where it is.
or you can just put it in like a bunch of random files where no one ever looks and name it like a weird computer name so no one will look in it

but to hide a folder
you have to go create one and then right click on it and select sharing and security then go to general and select hidden then apply changed to this folder only and it should disapear to access it you would have to type its name in the adress above for exmple

it would say

C:Documents and SettingsHomeMy DocumentsTYPE FOLDER NAME HERE

then press enter and it should take you to that folder.

Download and install truecrypt:

Make a volume and put your files in it. Hide the mountable file somewhere deep in the computer, like C:WINDOWSsystem32. Be sure to unmount the volume when you're done. The encryption in truecrypt is so strong, even the government would have a hard time getting your pictures. Truecrypt is complex, read the instructions very carefully.

If you want, you can just upload your files to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ; they won't be deleted for a month. Or you can email the files to yourself in an attachment.

**Note that hidden files aren't absolutely hidden. I have my computer set to always display hidden files.**
