Finding a software to do the job was not the issue.. finding one that you guys on here recommend or have used is what im looking for.
As many softwares outthere are just sh*te.

Is this one any good???

Thanks for your reply.

 

abekl has made a recommendation. It's up to you to decide if you trust it or not. I do.

 

Never knew that locking the .exe of a file was possible.
My lesson for today.
And another trick for my security list.

 

Then I will give it a go..
Sorry to 'abekl' if I misunderstood the reply and thankyou for your reply 'collinsl'

Love this forum

 

If its on majorgeeks please use are links

Please use this one instead
http://majorgeeks.com/Protect_Me_d6375.html

The link i gave you is a free one i think the one down at the bottom you have to pay for it.

 

If you are referring to abekl's link, the program Protect Exe and the program Protect Me aren't the same program. Similar in what they do, but they aren't the same program. rolleyes

 

you should add that program to majorgeeks list then.

 

If this is a corporate machine id make sure you clear any new programs your installing wiht your it department or you can loose your job or get in some deep trouble. Your best bet would be to actually talk with your it support, and let them know of your program, and have them then find the solution, as thats why there are there. Your job will get much tougher if your taking it in your own hands to install software on your companies machines with out permission.

 

As far as submitting programs to be listed, email tim@majorgeeks.com or jim@majorgeeks.com for them to review and test.

 

well i tried (protect.exe)
and all it did was crash the program I had wanted to password protect and in the end made it unusable.
I had to reinstall the whole program.

Any more ideas guy????

Thanks
