All features are organized in tabs, so just go over to “Tasks” to pick the Windows tools you want to lock, be they Windows Live Messenger, Notepad, Paint, Control Panel, Windows Firewall or Disk Cleanup. Of course, if one of the tasks misses from the list, you have the option to add it manually using the “Browse” button.
The “Encryption” tab is the key to protecting your files with a password, but also with dedicated encryption methods to prevent unauthorized access.
