Private Folder Needs Media Center Integration
Microsoft released Private
Folder 1.0 the other day with one feature missing; Media Center
integration! Microsoft Private Folder 1.0
gives you the ability to password protect a folder, called “My Private Folder”. Something people have wanted for years in
Windows is the ability to password protect folders instead of using
permissions/user accounts to do the work.
Permissions and user accounts do nothing when you forget to log off or
lock the machine.
Private
Folder 1.0 needs Media
Center integration for
the same reason. I know that most Media
Center don’t exit Media Center and log off when a whole family is sharing a
Media Center PC. Sometimes the same families
have content on there machines that everyone might not need access to, if you
know what I mean.
Here’s to a version of Private Folder with Media Center
integration please!

It Private.
