Password Protection?

Hey. I'm wondering if there is a way to password protect this software so you can't access the software without entering a password? Thanks.

I'm sure you would have to use a third party program to accomplish this. TC doesn't have that option as far as I know.

Boofo is correct. TC can only protect important stuff (FTP account information) with password.
True Crypt is often recommended for such tasks (though I don't have any personal experience with it).

Can this be requested when the next update..?

It could be requested but I'm almost sure it won't happen. That would be kindof dangerous if used wrong, I would think. Just my 3 1/2 cents worth (inflation).

Hi, Terrum.

NT based Windows systems (WinNT, Win2K, Win2003, winXP, Vista, Server2008, Windows 7) offer a bunch of configurable access privileges. This includes many ways of preventing users from accessing files and folders.

You only have to install T.C. to a programme folder where the group of users whom you do not want to run T.C. have got no access rights. As simple as that.
