    Select the preferred file, right click, scroll down to "Rename", select, rename "Porn DO NOT LOOK" and place on desktop.

    *edit* but seriously, just make a folder labeled "Adobe LR" or something similar, make a subfolder called "system_info" or some shit, and drag your WoW folder into there. Then go to your desktop/wherever your shortcut is, rename it like QuickTime or something, and change the icon to whatever you want.

    The porn idea was fullproof imo.

    or right-click files you want to hide -> click properties -> go to general tab -> check hidden by attributes. should hide it if i remember correctly. then there's an option to see/hide hidden files. i guess if she checks the control panel your S.O.L anyways...but either methods of hiding the files work up until that point (for my way you have to remember to unhide then hide the files after you open it, lest you walk away with your wow folder unhidden). imo go with the porn option, and put some weird porn in there so if she looks then her mind will certainly be off wow for the time being.

    Or you can ACTUALLY hide it by renaming it to a Windows GUID.

    elaborate.

    also, its properties, then in the general tab theres a hidden box, tick it, and imo change the option to only this folder, otherwise it takes ages to hide it, and you cant see the subcontents anyway if the main folder is hidden.

    Great site for gold/profession guides!
