    Use a torrent and let it run in the background?

    It won't be hidden completely, but they probably won't notice it until they check the processes going on with the task manager.

    You can also run it off of a flash drive. If your laptop still works well enough to get the data from, just copy the game directory onto a 8GB flash drive and you can run it from there on your work PC.

    Well you could still copy the folder onto a flash drive and run it from there. Alternatively, you can delete the Start menu folder and the desktop icon and just manually navigate to the
    folder. Or even rename them and give them a new image.

    thanks again Sylen...i found this if anyone esle is interested...Google my friend b:pleased


    Right click the Perfect World Icon, go to properties and under the "general" tab, check the box labeled "hidden" next to attributes. This should make the icon invisible.

    If you want to make it visible again (to play it) go to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Folder Options. Under the "Views" tab, bubble in the option that says, "Show hidden files, folders,"

    Be sure to uncheck it when your finished!

    I guess you really don't need a job if you're doing all that.
