How to hide folders well?

Don't know where section this belongs. If it is in the wrong section, please move it.
Trying to find a really good method to hide folders...
I am pretty sure I saw this method that you bind a picture and a Win-Rar file together, and you open the file with Win-Rar to open your things? How do I do that?
Also, what are some other good methods to hide folders?

Here's the method I think you're talking about though:

And make it so if someone goes to Users>Ryan>Desktop they can't see the folder.

Open the .jar in Winrar.
Delete all files in the jar, put the files you want.
No body will suspect a jar file to have stuff in it.
That's smart...I did the one with the WinRar. I think it'll work pretty well. It works as both a folder and a working picture.

For example- Music-Samples-Wav Files-Porn. < That's how mine is. Not kidding.
Who said this was for porn? ✌

But seriously, you should just put folder into folder. Keeps my desktop neat.
I have nothing on my desktop but my Recycle Bin...
0.o. I can hide the folder in my Recycle Bin...
Hiding the folder the way you want, it's not 100% safe, anyone who is savvy enough will be able to find it.
I'd use Truecrypt to create a hidden and encrypted volume, that way no one can get into it or look what's in it.
The one with WinRar in a picture doesn't really work because I can't add files into it...
I need something with easy access but still secure. System 32 takes too long to go to.

True...but what if they do? Always a chance.
