zippin the file and protacting it is the worst way ! to manage private files
you just go to a geeks hacking site and you will get a software to crak the password of zip files on a mouse click
on the other hand using the magic folder is not even that much safe if you are having geeks around to crak everything now lets try a other way around!
use ranish partition manager to resize your partition and make a new drive of like 2gb and now hit key "Ins" so you will get a menu to change the file system of that drive
when you want work with that drive use "FAT 32 " for win9x and use "NTFS" for windows xp and nt 200 etc. etc
when you are done with watching your private movies and pics and other documents go to ranish partition manager again select the drive and change the file system to "hidden ntfs" or "hidden fat32" and there you go
your complete drive won't appear in the explorer and my computer ! why use passwords when you know every thing can be cracked !
one more thing u will have to boot with ranish partition manager to change all this ! be careful about wat u are doing everytime !
and yes give password to your BIOS so that no body can change your booting prefrences !
now tell me if thats not a good IDEA from KILLER SAM
