Hey guys, I was wondering how to prevent certain photos and videos from showing up on search/spotlight? When you go to Mac HD and click "all images" or "all movie" there are certain ones I would rather not have seen by anyone on my computer. Is there a way to keep these files private?
Got a tip for us?

Well, in all seriousness. Make a new folder and put all of your "material" in that folder. In System Preferences>Spotlight>Privacy choose that particular folder... Close out of System Preferences and it should not show up in your search.
Not without some problems at first...
but, the OP was asking for some help and I felt obliged to lend a hand, so to speak...Not without some problems at first...
haha no pun intended of course
