Need help to stop some nosey people!!

Hey everyone,

We have issues here at work about others reading everyone elses e-mail and I was wondering if there is a way to Password Protect the Outlook Inbox where no one can read the e-mail without permission. Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Lloyd

What about a screen-saver password, and a logon password?

It is against company policy to completely lock out your computer. We can only lock out individual programs.

Thanks anyway,

Lloyd

First, create this program: (No forms, just a module)

Option Compare Text

Sub Main()
If Len(Command) > 0 Then
If Left(Command, 9) = "msimn.exe" Then
' You may put some password thing here if you want...
MsgBox("Outlook Express not allowed!", vbCritical)
Exit Sub
End If
Call Shell(Command)
End If
End Sub

Compile it, and put the compiled EXE in some directory. Then edit the registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EXEFile\Shell\Open\Command
Change (Default) to C:\Some\Directory\MyApp.Exe "%1" %* - this may not be the best solution, but it works if the user isn't activating the EXE through MS-Dos mode...

If you are using Microsoft exchange server and not internet email, there is an option in outlook available. Choose Tools --> Services. Select Microsoft exchange server and click Properties. If I remember it correctly, it is on the second tab where you can specify the login. It defaults to something like 'Use network login'. If you switch this of, the user has to log in to the exchange server every time they open outlook.

Install Netscape...then you will be able to at least set a password for all incoming mail. Unless you have an email certificate.

Or Eudora

Delete your Outlook info.

They could send email without your password.

But you don't have to tell them you switched.

Hi, Yonatan!
Is there a similar way to lock the printer?
