(control-x control-v) (you can also put in a .zip file) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx data protection: how to hide those nasty xxx pic's!!! ;-) - right-click with your mouse and select 'new' - then you will see a list of files you can create, pick 'folder' - for now, name it 'new folder' - copy the data you want to hide into that folder - then right-click on the folder and select 'rename' - give it one of the following names: (these are examples) - 'funny sound.{0003000D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' - 'control panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}' - 'aX0023sys.{ECD4FC4F-521C-11D0-B792-00A0C90312E1}' - 'internet explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}' - 'keys.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}' - 'Dial-Up networking.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}' - al folder names are without the ' ' - you can give the folder any name as long as you remember to put a . (point) between the folder name and the number!
