Default Mask/Hide Private Items so they can't be viewed without password

Perhaps I am missing something but I got new laptop and decided to use
Outlook instead of Outlook Express AND Palm Desktop software. After
combining, I realized that records (contacts, tasks, memos, appts) marked
"Private" are totally visible with a little key! I want them totally hidden
or at least masked but I can't seem to find any feature. That is totally
unacceptable! I have all of my creditcard info, and a lot of other private
information including a daily diary, etc. in my Palm and a visible key
doesn't mean a darn thing to me. But someone sitting down at my computer can
see all of this or God-forbid I lose my computer...now that's a problem. Help
someone...if not, how do we get them to add this feature?

Default Mask/Hide Private Items so they can't be viewed without password

is this on the palm, in outlook or on the desktop? if in outlook, add
password to the pst and close outlook when not in use - also, lock the
computer when you walk away. if it's in the palm or when using palm
software, you'll need to ask the author of the software how to hide it.
