- I have two suggestions:
-
- 1) Use security alarms to notify you of access to your files.
- This doesn't solve the problem, but you'll know when your
- privacy has been violated.

- 2) Hide said directories nine levels down. You'll need a
- logical to see them yourself, but the casual user won't
- know to look. I'm not sure if Analyze will spot this though.
