How to hide (encrypted) personal photos on a PC?

I have some pics which i want to hide. No one else uses my computer but i still want them to be safe. Don't suggest changing the attribute to hidden. I need to know if there are any software which are specifically for this task. A freeware is always preferable for me.

Thanks in advance

    Try 7Zip. It doesn't encrypt the photos per se, but it does allow you to put them in an archive for later viewing. You'll have to delete/shred the originals though. http://www.7-zip.org/

    If you'd rather keep a safe folder, try MyLockBox. It's commercial, and I don't know how it works, but it does. http://download.cnet.com/My-Lockbox/3000-2144_4-10...

    For keeping the photos in a large, innocent-looking file that can be mounted like a flash disk, try freeOTFE instead. It's my personal favorite, free and open-source, a big plus. http://freeotfe.org/

    You can encrypt them using TrueCrypt:

    Then, you can add all the photos to an encrypted file that you can only open with a password.
