    Is there a scope for "Admin Rights"...???

    Ok Guys,
    Here is the situation and then a question...
    The M8, as it is based on the Win Mob OS, has everything out in the open...
    What I mean by that is anyone once has the M8 in their hands can really mess up the phone by opening/modifying/moving/deleting any files from anywhere on the phone...
    Here is the Question:

    Is there an app, or can this be done: Admin Access
    What I mean is that we are able to put some sort of an admin restriction on the phone. If someone (in my case my 14 yr old kiddo) is using the phone, the person can only make/receive calls... send/receive texts and use the phone normally, but if they try to get into the "Documents" or the "Explorer" or Opera, they are not able to, so they cannot see/access the files on the main drive so there is no way they can modify/move/delete the files even by mistake....

    All of us here use PC's I believe and windows for the most part, what I am talking about is exactly the User/ Admin account privilege thingy on the Win OS...
    Any ideas... if something like this is already out there or one of the Great Wizards here can develop something like this.... Granting access to the apps on the phone....

    Go to Documents, select Device, press "Edit", and then select Disk folder. Then you can setup a password, so when you want to access it it will ask you to enter that pw.

    You can set a password, but when you connect with ActiveSynch, you can go for all files

    ...and even my PIN ! (RegistryEditor)

    Yea but it's not like you give your M8 to a friend of yours to check it out and he will connect it to a pc right away with AS, and look for your PIN code or whatever

    Very Interesting, did not know about this...
    Now a Question:
    Have you tried this???
    Once you put the password, does it stop you from doing anything???

    No, nothing changes,you can start all apps, like before,you can go to "disk" folder through other apps....you just can´t go there through "documents" folder.
