This little app does what is says it will do. It has served me well for quite a while. Best of all it is free! <p>

A suggestion for those complaining that this product telegraphs that you have something hidden (which it does, btw)... a simple solution is to rename the Hide-Out app something else less obvious to it's purpose (like "Program" or "File"). Then use Hide-Out, the renamed one that is, as instucted by the vendor. No more telegraphing what this thing is and what it does. <p>

Bottom line... this works... it is simple... it is free... it is good.

Ok, so before I had a sensitive folder tucked away in an inconspicuous place with an innocuous name. I had a friend try to find my pr0n collection and he couldn't do it after trying for 20 minutes.

So if I use Hide-Out!, I'll have a giant, flashing neon light display screaming out "HIDE-OUT! THE BOOTY IS OVER HERE! RIGHT HERE!" So maybe my significant other doesn't know enough to make it visible, but she WILL know that I'm hiding something from her and she WILL ask about it.

This app has got potential, but as of now, this dog don't hunt.

The folder you hide has to exist in the application folder called "Hide-Out" so it is somewhat shining a spotlight on the fact that you are hiding something. I would like it to be a bit more cloak and dagger then that.
