protecting / hiding certain folders ?

on my Droid...When I click the 'Gallery' button....4 folders currently come up. I would like to hide one of them though...because their pics of nude chicks & sometimes my GF is nosey and likes to snoop around..

Is there anyway to hide this folder , or change permissions so its not viewable ? I'd prefer to do this without needing to install an app.

So far I don't see any type of option to do this..

You can use an app like the one below or you can put a .nomedia file in the folder you want to hide so it won't show up on your gallery.

Just rename it, "what I think about when I'm intimate with you" and let the fireworks fly.

:D

That's always been my solution to device security. I'm too boring to have nudie pics or porn or whatever, but I do have personal files, notes and data for work, etc.

Some users like to go ahead and use the lock screen pattern. That can help with security, too.

And of course there are security apps in Market. ;)
