I've recently started letting friends/family use my PDA for a few minutes at a time to connect to the internet or try a new game I've installed. However, there is nothing more irritating than having me hang over your shoulder, making sure you're not accessing my personal files.

I already downloaded and installed multiple encrypters, but for large batches of files, it takes quite a while to encrypt/decrypt upon each access. In addition, it's cumbersome to have to navigate to my files if I try to "hide" them in several layers of subfolders. Is there a utility available that allows multiple users to create "screennames" on Windows Mobile 2003, or one that has a "guest feature" that limits another person's access to just select programs/files? So far I've heard nothing about such a feature being available in Magneto (WM 2005), so I'm hoping someone could direct me to a company who can pick up the slack.

Thanks,
John

Why not putting all your files to a SD Card and removing the card before giving the PPC to someone.

I'd rather keep the docs on the built-in memory...I am running NiceStart, which will automatically wipe all files after x# of incorrect attempts. If I lose a memory card, the files are not secured. Also, there is no way of transferring the database files (for appointments, contacts, to do lists, etc) to a memory card.

Any ideas?

It's really counter to the 'personal' aspect of personal digital assistant.

I would just not let anyone use it. Just like if I had a diary I would not let someone read it.

I want one simular to this but so that I can have settings for work and settings for home. Such as WiFi IP settings, etc (There was a few other things I had thought of that would be good (to have two different settings) but I can't remember them atm)
