Exe Protect by Frederic Collin is a password-protection utility for Win32 programs. It makes programs require a password to run.

It works by 'encrypting' the original exe and renaming it with a ~ to start. Then it replaces the original exe with a stub of the same name.

  • test.exe (original program)

becomes

  • test.exe (Exe Protect stub)
  • ~est.exe (encrypted program)
