ExeLock provides you with an easy-to-use tool for password protecting Windows applications.

ExeLock will come in handy when you share your machine with others as it allows you to lock up programs preventing others from running them like a tax preparation app, employee reviews, etc. ExeLock is perfect for these situations. It permits you to password-protect executables safeguarding them so only those who have the password can run the protected program.

ExeLock works by modifying the binary executable itself, ensuring that only a correct password can run it. ExeLock does not alter the Registry database, and it doesn't save the password in any hidden files or disk sectors. ExeLock is also capable of protecting programs not only on your hard drive but on a floppy disk, as well. One useful option included with ExeLock is the ability to set expiration times; this can be useful if you are going to be away from your machine and want the password protection for that duration. It also permits you to back up the file. One other positive attribute for ExeLock is that it protects programs, not icons meaning it will remain locked even if run from the command line.
