Yes, but the thing is that (too) often people quickly need some information and logging on/off is not an option. This is not ideal, but it is the reality. Being able to password protect folders contaning sensitive information would be ideal. I think (but I haven't trialed it yet) that the software one of the others recommended might just do this.
