how can I password protect the cmd program?

how can I password protect the cmd program?

Bryce

Delete it !

But why stop at CMD.EXE why not COMMAND.EXE ?

Of course you won't be able to run DOS programs nor have an interactive command prompt to
run command line utilities.

AFAIK, you can't.

You /can/ set security ACLs (you seem to be using XP - right-click a file
(and file) and go to the security tab to select/deselect users and groups.

This won't stop someone from running commands directly from the Start menu -
for that (and other things) you should Google for "XP Group Policy". Not
available on XP Home, AFAIK.

You can set the permissions on it so that only selected users have
access to it - meaning NTFS permissions (security tab). I do this on all
servers and esp. on web servers. (a lot more than just cmd also).
