It's the 2024 Spring Festival again, and everyone's electronic devices such as laptops may be taken home, and when they are used at home, there may be little children to rub and play.
Or if someone in the family wants to borrow it temporarily, then you have to be on guard when they open the software, add a password to the software, not to say that there is any adult content, such as some work software, some document editing software, etc., you don't want your record to be opened.
Here's a gadget called WinAPPLock that can come in handy.
It adds a one-time password to the software, which can be accessed only if entered correctly, and the password can be customized every time.
It's a very simple tool, not suitable for use in the network environment, only suitable for protecting against those who can access your physical device in the real world.
If the other party accidentally opens the software you don't want to be accessed, they will know that they can't open it when they see this interface.
You can also customize a locked tooltip cover to give a silent warning.
Even if you forget your WinAPPLock password, it's fine, because it generates a configuration file in the directory with the information in plaintext.
It's also important to know that this "really, really" is just a very simple tool, don't use it as a crypto tool.
It just covers a covered layer of windows when the software starts, and you can even see the interface content of your original encrypted software when you switch it.
Within a few seconds of displaying the password, press ALT+TAB and you will be able to see the form information called Form2 directly, click on the cross and the encryption of the software will be invalidated.
So you should now understand where it applies, just a small hint.
In addition, when adding software, adding the name of the software directly may not be valid, select the details in the task manager, and then copy the file name.
After it is encrypted, the software in use will be locked immediately, and the software that is not opened will automatically start encryption the next time it is opened, and it will become invalid after decryption once.
With WinAPPLock, throw it under the path that only you know, and turn on the encryption when you need it, you can add a small threshold to those "friends" who want to open your software.
Its effect, well, probably... It's just a little bit better than the following.
