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

Select

Program File

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

dvd.exe

may only launch a media

player. If

dvd.exe

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.
