    just put a password/login on all your programs?

    if you want a quick, insecure way, try something like this:
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<fstream>
    
    using std::cin;
    using std::cout;
    using std::ifstream;
    
    int main()
    {
       char*pword=new char[10];
       char*fpword=new char[10];
    
       ifstream infile("C:\\somewhere\\somewhere\\something.dat");
       ifstream>>fpword;
       infile.close();
    
       cout<<"Enter Password: ";
       cin>>pword;
       if(strcmpi(pword,fpword))
       {
          /* PUT PROGRAM HERE */
       }
       else
       {
          cout<<"Stop trying to crack my software!";
          return 0;
       }
       
       delete[]fpword;
       delete[]pword;
    }

    Here's a quick outline...

    1. Define a string with the known correct password.
    2. Display a message asking the user to enter the password.
    3. Get the user's string.
    4. Compare the strings.
    5. If the strings match, continue (or return "true", etc). If the strings don't match, return 0.

    If you want to get fancy, you can add an option to change the password and save it to a file... maybe encrypted.

    my code got a little fancy and reads it from a file, so you can have all your programs read the same file and use the same password and you can change it for all programs easily...

    for encryption, I suggest something like this:
    Code:
    ...
    for(int i=0;i<strlen(fpword);i++)
       fpword[i]=static_cast<char>(static_cast<int>(fpword[i])+5);
    ...
    and for a decryption algorithm jsut put a minus in front of the 5 (or whatever number you want to use)

    once again, this isn't very secure at all, but it doesn't seem like you're trying to block your apps from the CIA, either...
