Hi,
it can be dangerous to delete files by date without authorization.
For notebooks it's better to encrypt the data on the HD, so the data on the
stolen notebook can not be used unless you have a password.

Password can be stolen as well, so the next level of data security is to
keep encryption key on the SmartCard+PCMCIA SC reader with PIN access.

The data encryption V-DISK for Win95/98/NT is free up to 2MB - enough to
keep all your key confidential data, like accounts, CC numbers, passwords,
etc.

You can download it from www.v-disk.com

Best regards,
Alex

You can do that with Microsoft SMS. I don't know how, but one group at
work does that with their public computers.
