I'd hide it somewhere deep in your drives, like
C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow

TrueCrypt, or hide them in folders in folders under random names.

Go to the folder's properties, make it "hidden"
You won't see it anymore.
When you are ready to view it again, go to: Organize > Folder and Search Options > Click "View" tap > Check "Show hidden files, folders, drives".
When you want to hide them again, do the same steps but check "Hide hidden files, folder, and drives"

I love the fact that you just come out and say your intentions, lol. Also, you could try putting it on a removable drive. Much less practical because you could use it..and it could be found O.O .. But still and option.
