Auto-hide password protected docs that are accidentally left open

S

Password protection is a great feature, until you get distracted and walk
away with the document visible on the screen or minimized to the task bar.
Why not allow documents, especially password-protected documents, to
automatically hide or mask themselves when accidentally left unattended for a
period of time?

The Windows Screensaver already does that - set it to come on after (say)
four minutes and make sure your account is password protected


Why? There are already functions that will do this within Windows such as
the above, or pressing Winkey-L when you leave the workstation...
