$\"Gravatar\"$ A pretty slick place also is inside programs. Choose a program, right-click, show package contents. Voilá! And spotlight doesn't search there either. Less likely for anyone to find anything in there than in the libs folders. Besides, programs like Omni Disksweeper will find your huge chunks of porn in the libs folders in no time!!!!

$\"Gravatar\"$ It's a great idea, but people can easily delete this encrypted file by moving it to the trash, so all this process is useless.

$\"Gravatar\"$ IT's a good tutorial. Sure some one can delete your folder, but the main here is to hide it. So, it worths to do it.

$\"Gravatar\"$ that package contents thing is undoubtedly the best hider that is free that has been thought up without having to download a special program.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Better yet. Create a folder and name it \"WhateverUwant.app\" . Choose get info and hide the extension. You can even give it a nice little icon. This way your not actually messing with a real application.

It was really useful.
but is not another way to make files hidden, like windows?
anyway, thanks again.

$\"Gravatar\"$ I made a video tutorial on my blog of exactly how to do this, if you are a more visual learner. I use this type of tip constantly.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Does anyone know what happens to an encrypted disk image (sparse disk image) after an upgrade to Snow Leopard? Does it affect the encrypted disk or the files on it? Thanks for your comments.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Hi Oscar,

There are no problems as far as I know. As I suspect you have already done, Googling around should flag up any problems, so unless anything comes up, everything should be fine.
