Q: I can not password protect some programs, when I double-clicking at the "Installed Programs" to lock a program, the Password Door told me that the program has been protected, but the program still can be entered without any password?

A: A few programs can not be protected with the normal method, you must use the "Drag and Drop" mode to protect those programs. Please follow the steps:
1) Open the program you want it to be protected.
2) Open Password Door.
3) Click at the "Target" icon in the main window of the Password Door and hold your mouse button, then move the mouse to the main window of the program you want it to be protected.
4) Release the mouse button, then Password Door will pop up a dialog box, please empty the contents of the "Window Title" input box, then click "OK" to return.
This way the Password Door can protect most of the programs on your Computer.

Q: Why doesn't it allow me to password protect Windows Explorer or Password Door itself?

A: It will cause some system errors if Password Door protected the Windows Explorer, so the software will not allow you to protect the Windows Explorer. You needn't to protect Password Door itself, because it has already had the password protection feature

Q: How to use the "Window Class Name" option?

A: That option was provided by the older version and in the new version you needn't to use it. That option allows you to specify the class name of the main window of a protected program. Some programs will created a new executable file in the temporary folder and launch the temporary executable file instead of launching the executable file you protected, so you can then specify the class name of the main window to protect that program always.
The Window Class Name feature will be automatically enabled when you protecting a program by using the "Drag and Drop" method. So if you can not protect a program by double-clicking on the installed programs list, you can use the "Target" icon to capture the program, then the Window Class Name will be automatically enabled.
