    Locking my Programs

    Hey guys, I have been working on a new program for sometime now, the features it contains and executes properly are:

    Key Logging (Writes everything that has been typed ever since the program began.)
    Star Trader (Changes * in a password field to the character typed.)
    MSN Port Define (Looks up any MSN Hotmail account, then finds the IP Address from the computer the account was created.)

    The feature that I cant seem to fix, which by the way will finalize my program is:

    Program Lock (Locks programs listed by the user, therefor who ever wants to use that certain program would need to type in the password to access it.)

    I have been working on that specific feature for 2 weeks and it wont seem to work so if anyone can help me re-do a simple code for it, using DEV CPP it'd be great, thanks.

    - Houssen

    I don't think that's possible unless you manually set file permissions to "deny" then to "allow", but that's just a workaround.
    Another would be API hooking to hook the "execute" APIs and look for your app, then prompt password and deny if wrong. Otherwise pass on API.
    This is all I can think of to make it possible.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.

    are you writing a virus like program?? i don't know much about virus myself, but your program description is *suspicious* a best.
    but then i think its the use or misuse not the program itself to be blamed for any harm done!

    It's not a virus, I am an experienced programmer in most code, look up www.BYOND.com that website has its on coding program I am a MASTER at that, same with TORQUE GAME ENGINE, look up www.garagegames.com and you will find it there. But this is very odd because it doesnt allow me to actually activate it.

    Refering to a few other sites like those means absolutely nothing. You've provided no evidence of you having ever written anything decent. All the things you describe sound very dubious.

    Quite frankly, I'd say that anyone who has written, or is writting, or even just wants to write, a keystroke logger can go to hell!
