Can I hide/lock files

---

Hello people,

I have a HTC Desire, a friend of mine is interesting in getting one for himself, he has aksed me a question but I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask here.

Basically what we want to know is it possible to hide files on the HTC Desire. Can this be done with or without using an app, if it can be done without an app howso. If I need an app, which one. Not sure if he wants to lock/hide or files to show under a fake name, can this be done.

His concern is that becuase of the way Android is all files would show up if someone was to look up the stuff on the phone/SD card.

Not sure if this makes sense

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Does this hide files. I think my friend wants to be able to hide any file. Also prevent certain media files from showing open when you open the image viewer/music player/video player etc

What I do to keep Gallery from listing my pornstars photos from it is:

With file manager (any, there are a bunch in the market) I created a hidden directory (any file/folder starting with period is hidden, so I named the folder .porn) and the gallery cannot see it. If I want to see the content of that dir, I start the file manager and browse in that directory.
