    Hi,

    I am wanting to block a certain application that is on our computer. I don't want to delete but, just temporarily block it from letting anyone using it. Is there an easy way for me to do this?

    Thank you,
    Tracy

    Right click on the icon for the program and go to properties. Determine the path to the .exe file and go to that file and change the .exe part to something like .BAK. you will need to change it back when you want to run the program. If your trying to prevent others from accessing the program this may or may not work, depending on their abilities.
