Looking for a way to password protect individual folders on your Pocket PC? Well, Chris Clark has pointed us to a solution from dmdSoftware called SecureDisk. It appears as though this little application allows you to password protect any a sub-folder of the My Documents directory.
Features:
• Your "My SecureDisk" remains protected even when attached to your desktop.
• Safe; if you lose your password, you won't lose your files (contact us for a solution).
• Works with ALL applications on your Pocket PC. Because "My SecureDisk" is a virtual device located under your "My Documents" directory, ALL your applications have access to your files.
• Uses SIP for password entry. That means that you can have an alphanumeric password.
• Passwords can be entered through a keyboard, SIP, or simply written on screen (with Microsoft Transcriber)
• Passwords are not limited in size.
• Only protect the stuff you want.
The description makes it sound as though there's a special workaround if you forget your password, but I haven't been able to find out exactly what that entails. I'll update this post when I do find out.
