guthmund - If your mum's friend happens to speak German she can check out <a href="http://english.p30world.com/archives/001417.php">Exe Password 2004</a>. I don't understand German so I can't do much with it, and I can't find an English version anywhere.
But you might be better off with <a href="http://sac-ftp.externet.hu/security10.html">Protect Exe</a> (number 484 in the list). I just tested it and it works as it should. You select the .exe, type in a password and click the 'Crypt exe' button. It changes IE's icon though so she'll have to change the icon back. But I thought the IE desktop icons were just shortcuts to the real .exe somewhere else in Windows so I'm not sure how well it'll really protect 'the internet'. And finally, if the kids are smart they'll just delete the .exe and restore it, thereby losing the password protection.
Try it out and see for yourself but I'm not too convinced the kids will really be put off by this. User profiles or a better internet connection password would be the way to go.
