| 238325 | 2004-05-21 22:19:00 | Hi there If you use XP, Tweak XP (www.totalidea.com) has a program censorship option under "System & File Tweaks". You can set a password to access the .exe that starts the game. You can often get the full version of Tweak XP free on the Australian PC magazines - comes with an offer to register for free and unlock all features. Alternatively you could move the game icon to either a folder with a non-decript name, hide it in a hidden folder. Apart from that you could try password protecting a folder, however I personally don't know how to do that, someone here will. J :D |

| 238327 | 2004-05-22 10:19:00 | A very simple way to hide your games shortcuts is to place them all into a folder on your desktop named, say, games, and make that folder (and only that folder, not the files) Read Only. All you need do then is go into the folder options and turn on "Do not show hidden files and folders" and the folder will then disappear. To play your games go to Start>Run, type in games and the folder will open for you to access your games shortcuts. When you close the folder again it once again disappears. I am sure it will take an eight-year old a few years to figure that one out.... unless he is looking over your shoulder when you perform your magic. :p :D |
