Hide programs?

Does anyone know how to hide an installed game?
For example if i would download Steam & another game in steam, is there a way to lock and hide it?
And you can only find it back if you write some code or so?
And if i say hide it, i mean you literally hide it so you wouldn't find it anywhere back on the computer.

Because i cba to download and uninstall every 2 weeks on my dad's new gaming laptop XD

You can make your Steam library private if that's what you're asking?

"literally hide it so you wouldn't find it anywhere back on the computer"

no you cannot.

I dont believe you can..and why would you want to hide your Steam folder anyways?I see no need for this unless your trying to hide some porn huehuehue

There's a way to make icons/files invisible.

1) Right-click the icon you want to make invisible and in the menu that appears choose Properties.
2) Press the Change Icon button.
3) Click the Browse button and locate the file Shell32.dll in your Windows\System32 directory.
4) Find a transparent icon (it looks like a blank space between other icons), select it and press OK.
5) To hide the label, right-click it and choose Rename. Hold the Alt key and dial 0160 on the numeric keyboard (the Num Lock key must be on).

The next step requires changing the Registry settings. Be very careful about it and make sure that you change exactly what is written here!

6) In some versions of Windows you may have a small arrow remaining on the desktop at this point. To hide it, go to the Start menu, click Run and enter regedit.exe. Locate the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Inkfile' registry key, delete the IsShortcut parameter and restart the computer.

Also, just make everything in Steam private, hide it with the method above, done.

This is pretty complicated, and i don't want to fuck up his pc

His Dad bought a gaming laptop for watching movies.
I'm sure he isn't smart enough to do a directory listing.

You would have to delete the steam icon and hide the folder which your games are saved.

You could partition your hdd and have a separate steam+game on there- Only way too open or know what is in the partition is with a password.

Change steam icon to Internet Explorer icon.

Hide files? You could make a batch file I guess..

Code:

@echo off
title i lub boobies
Echo. To prevent any errors, make sure the file you'd like to hide is in the same fol-der as this batch/exe program.
Echo. Also, If it's not an entire folder, make sure you write the files extension too[i.e File.txt]
Echo. What file would you like to hide?
Set /p Ans=
If %Ans%==Reveal goto R
Attrib +H .\%Ans% /s /d
Msg * Done!
exit
:R
cls
Echo. What file would you like to reveal?
set /p Ans2=
Attrib -H .\%Ans2% /s /d
Msg * Done!
exit

@Denelf
1) Copy and paste the code into a new text file
2) Save the text file with a .bat extension
3) Type in the name of the program you'd like to hide
4) To un-hide, simply type in "Reveal" instead of the first file name and type the name of the file/folder you left hidden.
Capital letters matter! Make sure that if the files name is "test.txt" You actually write "test.txt" and not i.e. "Test.txt" or else it wont work..

why would you do that?

Why don't you just get off his PC? It's not yours to fuck with, so don't fuck with it.
