Drag and drop it in a folder that people wont be
looking in and change the name to something that looks
like it belongs there

Hi Brad,

Try setting file and folder permissions. This will not hide a folder, but it
will prevent a user from accessing it.

To set permissions your hard drive must use a NTFS File System. If it
does not, Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 307881
