Probably the easiest way to hide something on a pc is to not hide it at all.
 
Just rename 'game.exe' to 'epson.drv' or something and keep it in a 
subdirectory called 'install' under the directory for your favorite
software.  Just rename it when you want to play. And don't forget to
change it back when you're done.  
 
If you need a nasty filename that nobody will look at, just take a look
at Wordperfect program/data files, or Microsoft language program/data 
files.
