Fortunately, you have an alternative application which can also protect your exe files called Empathy. Empathy is a free and portable application.

Empathy let you protect your application from unauthorize person. You can use Empathy in your office, to protect your application from you collegues, or even your BOSS!
There are 4 options in the main interface. Use the Protect button to password protect your application. While the Unprotect button will remove the password. The Test button will run the protected application and to see whether the application can be run after protected by password. The Help button will open the Empathy help file.
The protected application can be run at different machine or different Windows OS, as long as you have the password.

To use multiple characters password, you have to send the author a picture postcard, with your name and email, and the author will send you the unlock code.
