    Default how do you hide embarasing things on your pc?

    and no i dont meen porn. i meen sites like, well, TWC for a start. and youtube with its history of my terrible taste in music :p. and my video folder has a few videos of my BJJ and no-gi grappling fights, but to the untrained eye these just look like two grown men rolling round on the floor in lycra. if my friends saw that i would never hear the end of it, and if a girl sees i post here i doubt its a huge turn on :p so i was just wondering how you guys handle people being on your personal computer. i could delete embarasing forums from my favourites, but then i cant get there quickly

    In all reality it is two men rolling around on the floor in lycra.

    You can create a hidden password protected folder in windows. We had something similar on military issued computers, but it was a program. In reality it works just as well for most people.

    its a bit too far in the nerdy direction for me to admit too :p and its not just this forum, just things in general. also, the fact you assume the girl is hypothetical proves how nerdy this forum is. jussayin

    true, but its also a highly effective fighting style developed over 3000 years of human history and i can snap your arm in 3 different places with it + its only gay if you make eye contact :p

    seems like a bit too much hassle when i want to open them. i might just make a guest accound and password this one. that way i only have to type it in once. i think it would annoy me having to type it in every time though

    You could create an obscurely named folder in an obscure place and make it hidden.

    Firfox has a private-browsing option, so nothing is recorded while browsing in that mode.

    AFAIK most browsers have a private-browsing option...
    Or you could, you know, delete browsing history whenever you're done using your computer on the internet...
    As for the Lycra videos...
    Hide them deep, deep down in your Hard Drive? Do what Elysium suggested and create a very obscurely named folder.
