WHAT IS 007 FOR WIN32? ------------------------- 007 for Win32 is an innovative software which allows you to password protect existing Win32 executables. You can effectively lock your most sensitive programs and utilities (like tax preparation or financial planning software) from unauthorized access. Only the person who knows protection password can run the program. 007 for Win32 is safe and efficient. Unlike other "protection" software, it does not run in the background to provide its functionality. With the other software, which claims to be "password protecting", an intruder can simply kill the protection program or remove it from startup group to disable entire mechanism. 007 for Win32 protects program itself, not its icon. The program will remain locked even if you run it from plain command line. Passwords can be set, changed, and removed separately for each program. 007 for Win32 modifies existing .EXE file, so that the program, if invoked, first asks the user for a password and would not start unless the correct password is entered. 007 for Win32 runs on both Windows'95 and Windows/NT. It operates regardless of installed file system type (NTFS, FAT-32, FAT, etc.). The software doesn't modify Windows Registry or any other part of the operating system. Neither does it create any hidden files or disk sectors - it only modifies the executable itself, saving the original file under a different name for your safety. 2.
