learcap Hi welcome to Windows BBS

No sure fire way with win me (that I know of) even with profiles set up and differant passwords ,desktops .I prefear not to set up either also.

You could simply change the attributes to hidden .
and when needed in folder options set pc to show all hidden
when leaving PC undo that .?

Need any help?

Well im a mouse user --here goes, I would put those files(if there not something installed) in a folder within a folder l/click drag mouse to enclose all , in other words select all , from the first folder.
R/click , properties and choose hidden,

then open any folder go (on its toolbar) tools , folder options, view tab
Hidden files and folders
toggle these to when and not you want to see them.
easy to do and pretty simply.

You'l need to clear the most recent folder also, start settings,
taskbar and etc etc , advanced, [clear] but you probaly know that.

Good luck
