I would be greatful if anyone has good site address' etc for protecting individual applications such as 'outlook'. Specifically, executable file password protectors, because this is what's going to start the application. Any help is appreciated....... Cheer's. John.

You don't say what Operating System.
For Win2k, XP - you need to find out about NTFS file permissions (you might need to convert hard drive to NTFS instead of FAT).

For Windows 9x, there is no control other than external programs (which I wouldn't recommend anyway).

Run the windows help files and search for 'convert NTFS' and then 'NTFS' or 'NTFS Permissions'
This should explain to you how to set NTFS up and correctly set the permissions.
