    If that’s the desktop like I think it is, the mother will probably be far more disappointed with that desktop mess than any homework on the drive anyway.

    Use .resources (or anything similarly innocuous) instead. Totally meaningless but to anyone who doesn’t know how to compute, they won’t see it and it’ll look innocuous if they do.

    Also LUKS helps.

    Really everyone? Veracrypt encrypted psuedo-drive container, password protected, saved in a game’s install folder (to mask the size) with a filename that blends in. %appdata% could work too, but more likely to get purged by some overzealous cleanup script. Mount and unmount the vercrypt volume as needed. Won’t cause the risk of something showing up in the file browser search or recent files lists (or at least they won’t actually be able to open them from recent), and won’t immediately stand out if someone uses some sort of storage analyzer like WinDirStat. Just another big data file for some game. Could go sneakier and do a hidden volume in the container, or just encrypt an entire USB drive, but that’s probably overkill.

    Then when you get your own computer/don’t live with your folks? Who gives a fuck. Clearly labeled folder. Media/Internet/Porn/

    At that point anyone who snoops does so at their own peril.
