    If I google one of my client’s name, the second search result is the path to her EE system folder. Obviously it can’t be accessed, but I don’t want it to show up, especially since I gave it a special name that has nothing to do with her real name OR her EE username.

    Any thoughts?

    yooliadesign,

    First thing to do would be create a robots.txt file and in it add the following

    Disallow: /system-folder-name/

    Does that help?

    That is wonderful! And that will take care of it? Do I just place it at the root?

    Hi, yooliadesign.

    Yes, place that file in the root directory. It should take care of it. If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
