Hide files

[AFPoster]

So I have been searching google like crazy. I know when I had Windows I could hide certain files that I didn't want anyone to find if my computer was taken unless they knew which folder I had it in and how to reveal it and the password to unlock it to view it. I can't seem to find a way to do this with my Mac outside of having to download a free app or buy one to pw protect it. Does anyone know a way to hide / pw protect a file?

Security through obscurity. Hopes you're not protecting anything meaningful because unless you're password protecting, it isn't secure in the least. Encrypted DMG and TrueCrypt are my choices for file/folder protection.
