When I wanted to hide some files in my memory card, I used the old CLSID trick. You rename the folder that contains them to something like
And when opened, it takes you to "my documents" instead of showing the files inside. If you rename it back, this is undone. That will work for the noobs. If you want something better, try Folder Lock 7.Code:Shortcut to My Documents.{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}

If your using Windows 7 Pro, you can use the built-in encryption that makes everything you encrypt only accessible by your account. You will need to encrypt contents of the folder and not simply the folder name.
Others will be able to see the names but not able to see its real contents even if they managed to bypass Windows 7 and copy the encrypted contents.
Hiding files is ok but not as secure as encrypting it when considering security-wise.
edit...
One more thing your external drive needs to be formatted to ntfs in order for Windows encryption to work

dont ban me just spank me
If you want your files to be safe you must encrypt them.
Hiding, locking, ... doesn't provide any security.

use bitlocker if your windows 7 supports.i encrypt my harddrives with it.
Truecrypt Portable Containers with Variable size should fit your needs.
