normal users can only reach "single" user mode by editing bootloader options. to prevent this add a password to your bootloader, but be aware this could easily lock you out of the system.

hidden file?? you need to explain this a lot better

there are plenty of guides for encrypting file systems, such as this http://www.linux.com/howtos/Cryptolo...TO/index.shtml
