Please help me find a specific application

[horus]

Hi,

I need an application that can keep my folders hidden from indiscrete eyes(Win Explorer, Searches, etc), but certain

applications still to have access to them(for example, emule's download folder, or utorrent's download folder).

Something like Windows's hidden folders functionality but with a "better locking mechanism". Anyone can unhide folders pretty easily in Windows, and also, it can include hidden locations when searching,and for me, that's a no no.

I don't want to lock/encrypt the folders, I just want to make them invisible.

Do you know such an application?

Thank you.

I know you don't want to encrypt them, but TrueCrypt would be perfect for this. The folders are hidden unless they are mounted. It's free to try, being open source.

Folder Guard should do the job. It hides and locks folders without encrypting them.
