How's about just telling your mum to stay out of your business, she shouldn't be looking at them anyway.

First of all check to see if your hard drive is NTFS. That is the only file system that you can password protect your stuff.

To check go to My Computer > Right click the drive > Properties

    It should tell you if your HDD is in NTFS.

If so You probably have simple file sharing on.

To change this go to Tools > Folder options > View

    there should be an option that says something along the lines of "turn simple file sharing on" You want to uncheck this box.

Now, you should have a security tab when you Right click a folder > then go to properties.

you should now be able to set up a pw.

the pictures aren't exactly on the internet. make different profiles to log onto the computer and change your password reguarly, that ways you have your own space and she has her own space.

Buy a flashdrive or a removable harddrive.  If you put a folder on there and your mom happens to stumble across it, and it is password protected, she probably wouldn't be too happy with you.  Removable media is the way to go for you por...err...pictures of your gf.

Use WinRar. Zip the folder. Open the zip. Right click the folder and set the password.

How old is your girlfriend? If she's under 18 it's illegal for you to have those "intament" pictures (if by intimate, you mean what I think you do) even if you're under 18 too.
