Secretly install Steam and one game on a shared computer.
Hello,

I am installing Steam and one Steam game on a shared computer and I would like to do it very discreetly. I've searched around and haven't found much information regarding my attempted endeavor.

I know a few basic thing like making a folder hidden, changing icons, using fake extensions on my programs, etc.

Any other tips or tricks to keep Steam and this one game hidden from view would be greatly appreciated.

If they can monitor the computer they know it's on there.

They are computer illiterate, I just need to have my steam install and game hidden from plain sight.

We are not going to help you install software without the permission of the computer owners. Either get permission or purchase your own computer.

So if they (being computer illiterate) decide to download a virus accidently, you're kind of hosed.
Get a cheap crummy computer that is only for storing the game files and put your game on that. Technically thats also more efficiently purchased as a NAS(Network Attached Storage) box. I don't know how intense the network traffic will be, but steam would normally be loading this off your local hard drive.
Perhaps have a second internal hard drive that is only for steam games, that you only plug in when you're going to play. Otherwise only one drive would show up. (I'm assuming you have a desktop and can put two drives in there).

you can play steam off an external hard drive if thats an option for you, never tried it with something like a usb stick/flash drive but apart from it being slow there shouldnt be any problems
