Create a hidden folder and place Cave Story inside it.

Did you try hiding it in the recycle bin (the place where you can send deleted files incase you wish to have them back).

P.S: or download another cave story exe hide the one you want to use and leave the second one in plain view and naturally he'll use the copy.

P.S.S: and meta thats the problem he himself explained that no matter where he hides it his brother finds it and screws his game up.

Make a duplicate of the Cave Story directory. Then rename the new copy of Cave Story folder to something else :

AREA51

and move the folder somewhere only you know about.

If your brother however is some kind of stalking tech wiz that will find it through using search, or recently used programs...
o_o

uh... You should probably start by creating a seperate login account on your Windows, and password it "Litango Mutscoud"

Even a fool can clear the "recently used programs" list by right clicking it and going "clear list".
Oh wait, I guess a fool can't. Too bad.

Or just add in a .rar file that has a password and each time you feel like playing unzip it.

Or just put a data file in that .rar and unzip it every time you want to play it.

Hiding it in a hidden folder. I.E, so his brother can't see it.

A) Beat up your brother.
B) Cave Story isn`t big - create a duplicate for him. Make a directory where you pack his games.
C) Make it hidden or passworded.
D) Talk to him.

B and C for symptomatic treatment, A and D causal treatment

I wasnt being that harsh, but yeah i shouldn't of even posted that still.

The most logical solution is what someone else suggested, using a zip program(I use winrar) and password it.

If you have some kind of external storage device such as a USB, your probably better off putting it on that and hiding it if your really worried your brother will "fuck" it futher.
For added security keep the usb with you at all times, as he may have thieves ready to steal it when its unguarded.:debug:

Oh, so if you ask your parents to telly our brother to stop bothering you they don't care, but if you hit your little brother your "mum" will start to get involved? (just kidding, I have a little brother too :chin:)

This is why I'm glad my siblings are all my own age.
(Well, my brother STILL steals my stuff, but what can you do?)
Why did you delete Cave Story, anyway? I've considered it, but that's mostly to prevent procrastination...

I posted the most logical advice in the second page. But it doesn't matter because he didn't even bother considering it. I mean it's so easy.
