Yes, we had this discussion already on .security a few months ago.

Unix and WinNT give stronger protection already. Windows 95 and higher
has a buit-in password protection (but not more - no dis access
protection), and I think we honor that.
IIRC, if you activate it somewhere in networking, you can make Windows
come up with a login during startup. The Windows preferences will be
stored for each user separately, as will the "Documents" folder, where
we will then store Mozilla's profiles, I think. I.e. if you have 2
Windows users, one would not even see the Mozilla profiles (in the
Profile Selecltor/Manager) of the other user.
Of course, you can still access the Mozilla files on disk, but that's
not much different from Word files.
Please move the discussion to .security only. (Personally, I think
.prefs is the right group, but it's too late.)
