Sorry chum...many kids are wise to this ole' magic trick
and it won't work with many file manager's like XT-GOLD.

My suggestion is is that you back up as often as your sainty
allows and provide a seperate partition or drive for their
exclusive use and keep the main bit for yourself.

PS: I don't have any kids but I've clients with the little
    beggars.  I'm sticking to German Shepards for the time being! ;)
