Hi David,
Because of the same problem, I once, a very long time ago decided to develop ALL my APPS on databases, either ACCESS or ORACLE.
Now the user may do anything to my files except opening it.
You may however give your files one of the extentions .dll .SYS .drv etc. which will effectively hide it if your options settings are correct.Hiding it normally is not easy at all.
I think there are some applications which hide your files for you. Never tried them though.


Regards.

maybe you change some binary data in the exe, put the changed items into a database (for undo), rename the exe(like hiden.dat) put you're own exe there (wich opens a login dialog on run) , check the login-data, if right you re-patch the hiden.dat; if no -> error message.....

its a bit work... but must work (never tryed)
