Should I hide my admin section well? It is password protected, but is it still important to hide it better?

For example, right now I have:
mysite.com/admin/

Should i make it something like:
mysite.com/qwxhuv/admin/

?

thanks

The path name really doesn't make a difference.

Just be sure that the directory is heavily password protected, or write a separate login routine to access those pages.

you might also want to consider only uploading the admin files when you need to use them. If there are a lot of people using these files it might not be possible, but if you can, it is a good way to protect them.
