Windows 7. How can I put files in a folder and completely hide those files from anyone being able to see the files or access them. Even when they use the start menu search feature I would like those files not to show up. Any FREE way to do this?

I don't know if it'll work for Windows 7, but what I do is right-click the folder (or document) in question, click properties, click hidden, click okay. Now your folder will be hidden and no can find it. The only way to make it visible again is to Open My Computer, click tools, folder options and then go to the view tab, Scroll down until you find the option "show hidden files and folders". There you go! and hope it works.
