Hi,
Is there any software to deny access to certain programs? (like games and msn messenger) Something that will password protect or only allow certain users to use the program. It would be ideal if it can also lock certain files and stop other users from changing the computer settings.

yap got one!!! currently I used to protect:

-IE
-Outlook Express
-Window Explorer
-My computer
-All drives

All need password when want 2 open it...

^ can share?

Mind sharing?

Yeah, mind sharing?
I got software to lock folders and such, but not running applications.

erm...impressive..mind to share?

Is it freeware or shareware??

erm... u just make them wondering what software isit
btw I used to have that kind of software to manage 20 lab PC before
it's long time laid back behind and forgive me, forgot the soft. name

But it just lock the software through group policy right??
That means it is locked based on policy not password...

but need to $ lol
last time i use still in free distribution... but that's 3/4 yrs back
still this is the good one

You can lock it for (Example) User A and when you want to run the program you can choose to run the program under another user that has the privellage to run it, ( you'll need to enter the password and username ) so in a way its password protecting the program.

Wah...looks so complicated i'm reading it halfway...

Can i lock it for another admin or is it only for normal user accounts?

*Erhm* use DiamondCS process guard!

http://www.diamondcs.com.au/processguard/

for the crack........... find urself

WTf??? Process Guard is to protect ur running applications from DLL injection and patching or modification...
DUH~* I know tat bcos I used that b4.

And also,
@utopian86 - Are u sure that Folder Lock can lock folders in pendrive?
As the software is running on the desktop and all registry files are in the HDD...
So how it can lock the folders while it is not running on other PCs?
Is it possible>?

And for policy, can admin lock admin's privillages?? I mean lets say there are 3 admin, and each one wants privacy, so they set it restricted to themselves only, is it possible? and other admins cannot change the setting?? Thanks.

sygate personal firewall might be your answer. though now being bought by symantec already.

It has scheduling so you can set each program to work at certain time
