if you must keep it on a shared machine, winzip encryption is easy to use. zip it twice, rename the first zip with a dummy extension then zip the dummy file using AES 256 bit encryption with a long password. it helps prevent listing the contents.

if you admin the machine you share with people create seperate user accounts and don't allow access to your account (listing, indexing, reading, ect.) of your directory.

thats only half the problem though. you probably leave traces through out your system (ex. registry) of what you've acutally been looking at. look for cache cleaning and anonymizing software.
