You can use a file/image hosting site like Photobucket, ImageShack, Mediafire, Megaupload.. etc.
You can access all your pictures in there no matter what computer you're using.
Also, make an account so you don't lose your stuff.

[The Russian]

Right click a folder containing the avatars and press properties. There should be a section called "Attributes" that has two check boxes, the top one will probably be checked. Check the bottom one that says "hidden."

Now if you want to find it again, go to the start menu and search for "Folder Options" or open "run" and type Folder Options into the box. There in Folder Options you will get the option to unhide all hidden folders and change the folder back.

And for improvising, right-click your folder, go to Properties, go to Customize/Personalize, click change icon and select a blank icon. Then, name the folder like this:

Right-click your folder, click rename and do this:
Hold alt and type in 0160 with the numpad. Press Enter.

To make sure that no one finds your avatars via search, name them random letters. Also, try putting your folder in some place in your hard driver rarely visited.
Alternative
Put your avatars in a pen drive or a CD. It's safer and you'll surely get in no trouble.

well how can i put all my avatars on a Blank CD?

[zookuw]

What he really means is, "How can I hide my research from my parents."
C:\windows\ and hide them anywhere in there. (In folders in there that is.)
if you don't overwrite anything it wont mess with your computer.

It's not research, its all my good avatars that i want to keep hidden.

Use a CD writer like Roxio, Nero.. etc.

Yes. You can select your images, click Add to file, and add a password.
Your mom will probably delete it because she doesn't know what it is, it's password protected and it's heavy.

Definiatly research, yup.

Anyhow, i guess you can, what zipping file do you use?

[Shinedown]

All of the Images are in a folder, and that folder is inside of a ZIP. file.

Password rar the folder, then password rar that rar into 10 parts, then place each of those 10 rars into individual passworded rars, then hide those in different places all over your hard drive in obscure folders.

How do i do that?

Also, be sure your mom doesn't have telepathy so she doesn't uncover you.
