Abstract: Described is a technology by which files that are hardware protected on a storage device, such as a USB flash drive, are managed on a host, including by integration with an existing file system. Each file maintained on a storage device is associated with a protection attribute that corresponds to that file's device hardware protection level. Requests directed towards accessing metadata or actual file data are processed based upon the protection attribute and a state of authentication, e.g., to allow or deny access, show file icons along with their level of protection, change levels, and so forth. Also described is splitting a file system file table into multiple file tables, one file table for each level of protection. Entries in the split file tables are maintained based on each file's current level; space allocation tracking entries are also maintained to track the space used by other split tables.

Abstract: A navigation bar in connection with the web space is generated based on the type of user and the control setting of the web space and includes one or more controls for navigating the web space. A client accessing the web space receives and renders the generated navigation bar. The navigation bar is responsive to an input device of the client and accepts a selection of at least one of the controls from the navigation bar via the input device. The selected control navigates to a predetermined portion of the web space.

Abstract: A mobile device user interface is described. Data tiles are arranged as a stack of wheels, where each wheel has one or more data tiles. One data tile from each wheel is simultaneously displayed. Up/down navigation is used to move from one wheel to another, while left/right navigation is used to spin a wheel to view the data tiles on the current wheel.
