Default Private contacts

In Outlook 2007 contacts there is a button entitled "private" that doesn't
actually do anything. How do I tag certain contacts as private so that
someone would need a password to open that specific contact?

Private does not equal password protected. All it does is make the item not
visible to people to whom you have not granted the right to view your
private items.

Can't be done natively AFAIK - you /may/ find a third-party contact admin
app that might do that...

So then if I have not granted anyone the right to view my items wouldn't the contact be visable to everyone? I appreciate the response but not certain what this even means

If you have not granted permission to anyone, then it should be visible to no
one. Of course, the Exchange administrator could have granted the permission.
