Use the link red alert posted or just make the folders hidden, and when you want to access them just type in the path of the folder in your address bar.

 

.rar them and password protect the rar

 

also u can just hide them

by making a folder in the c:/

and hide the files in that folder int he c drive or in a software folder

Always works
