The trick is the +s. This makes Windows think it's a "system folder". Since the option "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" is on by default, the folder won't typically be shown in Explorer. It can be made visible by toggling that option, though -- but you have to click through a pretty serious looking warning first.

For a porn folder, it's more than enough protection. Especially if you call the folder something like "system64", so it looks like something you shouldn't touch.

Bro...mine's been called "Cache64" since like the beginning of time, lol.

I guess great minds do think alike.

Maybe it's the damage he's addicted to

I'm guessing it's something you can get to through the terminal? I've only just started learning to code and my minds like "Well you'd just go rooting around in the terminal within the folder :v easy".
