LockThis! is a software that password-protects open documents and programs to prevent others from accessing their content. Users can easily apply the lock by pressing Ctrl when minimizing the window, making it an ideal tool for those who share their computer with others.
LockThis! is a fantastic Windows utility for password protecting running programs and documents. Its intuitive interface makes it an excellent tool for people who lend their computer to others. With LockThis!, you can keep your sensitive information hidden from prying eyes without having to close your programs first. If you frequently lend your PC, LockThis! can save you a significant amount of time.
Applying security with LockThis! is effortless. Simply press Ctrl when minimizing the window of the program you want to protect, and provide the password in the subsequent dialog box. The window can't be restored or maximized without entering the correct password. If an attempt is made to restore or maximize the window, a password dialog box will appear. If you don't provide the right password, the request will be ignored, and the window will stay minimized.
However, it is worth noting that while LockThis! has password-protected almost all mission-critical areas, it may not be entirely suitable for safeguarding extremely sensitive material. This is because there are ways to close the program forcibly, and once LockThis! is terminated, the protection it provided is nullified. We implemented a failsafe protection mechanism so that you are not blocked from your work if you accidentally close LockThis!.
Recently, LockThis! has undergone several significant updates. The tool's tray icon can now be hidden, making it more challenging for others to detect its existence on your computer. You can use a shortcut key to customize whether you show or hide the tray icon. LockThis!'s critical features are now password-protected, ensuring that none may deactivate, close, or access administrative tools without entering the correct password. Finally, you can now use a predefined single password to protect all applications, making LockThis! even more convenient to use.
