When you are in the midst of running some programs or editing your documents in your PC but suddenly somebody urgently seeking to borrow your system for quick usage, you probably don’t want any of them to interrupt the running program or be able to view the confidential documents. What we normally do is either terminate the running programs or close all confidential documents before passing to them. But now with this tiny utility named as LockThis!, instead of closing all of them, you will be able to protect those running programs or documents and prevent them from being accessed by third party without permission.

LockThis is a nifty utility that is able to password protect any running programs or documents so that other people will not able to maximize to view, modify or terminate it. Once you have gotten it installed and launched, it will stay at system tray silently.
