I just disabled the documents menu from showing up in my startmenu.

You'd be too if your girlfriend/wife spent a considerable amount of spare time watching her guy porn and saving large quantities of it for later. The reason you'd be upset is because she wouldn't tell you so you could join in - because she'd rather have "her alone" time.

and so i did..and i found his porn collection (which i already knew he had)...and asked him if he'd mind if i deleted them all. and he said..."um..no...go...ahead". so i did just that. I deleted all his porn.

He probably went back later on that night and redownloaded them..but it felt good to pwn him by deleting it all. heh.

wow...Drs. Eveil...that is harsh.

how is that harsh OR evil?? I asked very nicely and he gave his permission. I didn't like tie him up and force him to let me. Although I don't think he'd mind too much if i did tie him up...hmm..
LOL!! Well, what did you expect him to say? I mean, you were right there. As he probably thinks of you as a usual girlfriend, and all sensitive and adverse to that stuff he's not about to tell you no. "No honey! I need my pr0n!" LOL!! He probably figured that saying something along those lines, or anything to protect his smut, would put his relationship -- and not to mention his jewels -- in jeopardy.

Tell her that your keeping Mr happy in prime running condition, so that when it does time to race you don't blow your engine at the starting line...

It's all for her, you just want to make her happy ;)

heh you can rename folders to something like Temps.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} so when someone tries to open them it will take them to the control panel.

I gave my girlfriend my old puter and have mine locked at all times when I'm not at home. Screen saver auto-locks it after 6 minutes in case I forget.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, boy! 90 gig of wank material? You are one sad puppy :D
Your GF would have found that sooner or later. That's more than double my total HD space! Definetly need some help. (And I don't mean in just hiding the stuff!)

..little late though but at least its something. First thing i gotta do is move that whole folder.

You might have to download TweakUI to get the "Hide Documents in Start Menu" option. That's what I used to do it on my computer (to clean up the Start menu, not for paranoia reasons).
I have to second this. Really nice utility. And it can be set to auto wipe chaches and the like.

I would also suggest you take this as a good time to lean about networking on a Windows machine, and just how to set up and control access accounts. That way your next girl friend won't encounter the same thing.

80% of 30 gigs is 28 gigs. Western non-US porn isn't oriental.

For one thing, noobs... TweakUI allows you to hide entire drives from the My Computer list. Whenever you need the drive... show the address bar and type it in there. Secondly, use it to hide My Documents altogether.

Nativesunshine: I can't believe you did that to him. Why'd you ask to delete it if you didn't care that he has a collection or knew he would just download it again ? Were you offended by it ? Poor guy...

Cool. Now just make one batch file to hide the folder and one to unhide it...then your SO will never find your porn!
