if you're really worried u can always add a +s (system) atribute to your folder (files) so it's out of the index, u can't look for it in the search pane, and it won't be visible if u activate "Show hidden files and folders". U just open Command Prompt (Windows) go to the folder containing the folder-file u want add the +s attribute and write

attrib +s name_of_file.ext

if u wanna make it visible again just type it again but with -s or u go to folder options and activate "Show System Files" (which is less likely to be activated by mistake 'cuz it alerts u you're doing it)

so i just call the folder +sbob

No, he didn't say anything about renaming the folder. ¬_¬

He suggested using the attrib command to set the +s attribute.

How to i do that

lets's supose u have a file named _file contained in _folder wich is in your desktop

1.- Open Command Prompt (type cmd in the "run" dialog box)
2.- Navigate to the _folder (Ex: cd C:\Users\Your_name\Destop\_folder)
3.- type attrib +s _file
4.- Go and realize the file "ain't" there.

NOTE: u can also make files hidden (the same option u got in the _file properties) by typin attrib +h _file and u can combine them like: attrib +s +h _file.

It says file not found but i have one called _file (a folder)

It also works for folders, can u give me a description on the steps you are following? So I can see what u're doing wrong, 'cuz I'm guessing your problem is on Command Promt
