Or you can just use diskutility to create an encrypted, password protected disk image and put your porn in there.

Or, you could do the reverse and make a special account for your "sutff," wink wink nudge nudge.... then just log in when you need to access such content. You could also make it so that on log in, you auto log into your primary account, drawing no suspicion.
well here is the thing I have multiple keylogger and spy programs that I dont want my girl to see. She knows how to use the mac but basic stuff. I cannot create another account because she will think of that.
It's pretty clear he's spying on her. Please don't give this guy any more help, people. This is getting a little sick.
Sure I want to make sure my kids and everyone using my mac is not going to porn or any text messaging.

If that's what you're doing, why do you need to hide the files? Let them KNOW that's what you're doing. That's the first, most important step. If you don't want them using text messaging, then delete those apps from your computer. Don't give your kids permission to install new apps -- do this by setting up a separate account for them.
If I dont get a respond on here its cool if you guys dont know how to do it. "everyone doesnt have to know everything".

Nope. You're right. We don't. But in order to help you it'd be good to know what the hell you're trying to achieve. And besides, you got a lot of good answers in here, so chill.
