Password protect, selected contacts?

Hello all

Btw just to mention, I'm sorry to keep banging the TP2 form instead of the Pocket PC Software form for software questions but as this is such a new and proprietary device I figure most here would be more, in the know, for things just for this device, so that’s why I keep asking here.

Anyway, I was wondering for my Verizon TP2 with that stock WM6.1 OS, is there any way or is there is any software program that would allow me to password protection individual contacts in the default standard contact manager on a contact by contact basis?

In other words, what I am looking for is to password protect certain but not all that contacts, then if I go to the "All Contacts" list I would still want to have them there and be seen, but if I try to call them from that list or even the previous calls list, or even attempt to just view or edit any of the contact info for a particular contact, I would like to be prompted for a password before any of that could be done.

As well I do not want these contacts or any of their info to be sync-able unless they are unlocked.

But of course I would not want any of this to affect the caller ID stuff or any prevention of that contact being listed in the previous calls screen.

Just to mention I did find this one program, Skb Contact Manager, that would password protect a contact but the problem is, it completely hides it from the contact list as well.

So in other words, every time you want to call someone on that contact list you have to go to Skb and open up the program which requires a pass word, then unlock the contact, which requires a password. Then go back to the list and then you can use it normally to call them.

To be honest once I saw this I knew it that wasn't what I wanted so I didn't test how it Sync'ed with Outlook or how or if dealt with the caller ID or previous caller list thing but I just mention it as to show kinda what I’m looking for, and as well to let others know I have looked at that one and that it is not what I’m looking for based on what I described as the, wants and not wants.

So if anyone has any ideas or knows of any add-on programs that would do this, which I mostly suspect would be the case, please let me know.

Thanks for any help
