Chapter 11: SecureLaunch

SecureLaunch prevents unauthorized users from running Windows applications.  
SecureLaunch is ideal for accounting software and databases that contain 
sensitive and confidential information.  It can also limit access to applications such 
as web browsers and games.  In general, only files with an extension of EXE are 
supported, although other (unsupported) file types will be listed in the 

 dialog. 

 

Important:

 Some files with an extension of EXE merely launch another 

application. Securing theses files will not restrict access to the application 

launched by them.  For example, a file named 

 may only launch a media 

player.  If 

 is secured via SecureLaunch, any user will still be able to open 

it and launch the media player.  In this case, it is necessary to secure the media 
player itself.  In general, it is a good idea to test the restrictions that you implement 
to ensure that you have secured the correct file.  One way to see if an EXE file 
merely launches another application is to run the EXE and check your task 
manager to see what is actually running.
