7. There's a trick to save and send files that won't get caught.

.

Say it's a .mov file ?

Rename it as a .doc .txt .shrub , ANYTHING for an extension file

- noone will be able to open it - no programme will figure it out

let the recipient know that after he saves it to disc,

to rename it as a .mov file

POOF

it opens!

So you can have stuff linked in your website that noone can open, unless you tell them the extension!

sort of a "cheap" encryption I figured out, msn wouldn't transfer a video file for me once, so I did that - renamed it to .doc - and away it went! Brother renamed it on the other end - and it opened - no biggee!

:dunce:
