How to Hide Files/Folders?

Hey Buddies,
Sometimes advanced features can be annoying.. For e.g. Nokia 6630's inbuilt gallery viewer, scans complete mobile for images present and displays all images in Images section. There can be some images, you don't want others to see, want to keep out of other's reach.. My previous nokia 7610 was good at this point, he used to show images present only of current folder, not all mobile memory... And one more thing, if you rename extension of this JPG files, to any other unrecognizable extension, still 6630 is smart enough to recognize that file as picture file and displays in images... and that really sucks !!.. So now I have come up with searching for such a software/app which can protect image files, with password OR simply HIDE the folders from Nokia's inbuilt images viewer's reach... and that software should be smart enough not to display even thumbnails of these images... Do anyone know about such application?
Regards,
Sagar...

PS: It would be great, if APP is something like FolderGuard which is for PC...

Hey Pal,
I don't find any HIDE option, in FExplorer (latest version)......Haven't tried SeleQ yet? but are you sure about it?

Yah its not on FX Exp
But you can try Sele Q and if you are using 6630 then it won't work on 6630
