I usually go to properties then click the Customize tab, the click the Change icon button and select the blank icon (13th column, seconds row) and click Apply and OK , aftet that right click the folder and click rename, hold down the ALT key and type in 255 (in the numeric keybad), now you have an invisible folder, don't forget where you left it though.....

While I respect the intent, I 100% do not agree with this statement standing by itself with
no caveat or qualification. In a layered security model "obscurity" most certainly can
play an important roll.
Without supporting information placing your logic into context, this is nothing more than
cliche.

Well u mean renaming the folder with ASCII will make it safe, there is very simply way to unlock the folder which is rename in this way.
Goto command prompt, browse to the folder left click on the command prompt menu and u will see an option of edit then click mark.
Now u will see that u can highlight any thing from the whole screen, simply highlight that ascii mark which is appearing with the folder name enter this will copy that ascii character and then type the rename command n from the same menu paste the character now u can change it without knowing the number or code.
I found this trick very helpful cause i saw lots of such folders in my university lab.......

You might try a utility such as Scramdisk. This creates a hidden, password protected, virtual drive on your machine.
Just put your folders in that drive.

It won't make it safe but it will make it invisible, and if somebody knows where the folder is he can simply go to right click-> rename and type in whatever namwe they want to, they don't need cmd to do it.

My laptop has a smart card reader, I have found that using the software along with that has helped quite a bit. It makes the file availabel only if you insert the correct card. Now where did I leave that smart card.....
