Password Protect Applications with Empathy | How To
You certainly don’t want any one to temper with your computer and especially your private files. But what if some one sneaks and temper with your private data?
You might want to consider using a software like Empathy which can password protect any executable files. Empathy is a small, simple, easy-to-use but smart and reliable utility allowing you to password-protect any executable file.
There’s nothing to install – just extract the zip file to a folder and run the executable. Browse to the executable you want to protect and enter a password. However, the unregistered version accepts only 1 char passwords, which ought to work fine in a home environment. After all, most people will probably think it’s a multi-character password, guess incorrectly, and give up after a few failed attempts. Clever eh?
Although this software is free but postcardware i.e. You need to send this guy, (Developer Michal Strehovsky) a post card (not electronic) at his address in Slovakia and he will send you the code which will allow you to use empathy with complete functionality.
No need to spend money on it, just follow the instructions and you will get your copy of Empathy in no time. Compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me.
