I have TrueCrypt volume on external drive with a long random password for all my private stuff, and my Windows partition is secured with BitLocker since my motherboard has a TPM chip. Started doing this after sharing my PC with a nosy roommate at university.
If you really don't want anyone to be to recover it after when through trouble of encrypting it, you can get Eraser from SourceForge and do the 7 pass wipe.

You get a secondary HD and install a program or OS on it.
Then replace every system file with the files you want hidden.
Just be sure to erase shortcuts the program/OS may throw out there.
Then create a shutdown shortcut with a folder icon that says "Private."
Hopefully they keep rebooting and trying to open the folder until they learn their lesson.

I don't hide any of it, I leave it on my desktop for all to see.

um don't get the reason for this wouldn't it be easier to make a partition and just hide the partition or password protect it

Or you can put all that in a folder and change the folder icon to "Internet Explorer".

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Even better would be seeing their reaction.

Interesting topic we have here...
I don't have much to hide, to be honest (except my internet history, which I usually delete- although there's probably temp files on my system somewhere that contain all my history anyway), but this could be useful in the future.
