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.
The unregistereded version can only accept 1 character password. This may enough for non-IT guy as people will normally stop accessing your application once they see the password protected dialog box prompt out.

Spam Proof eMail Generator is a free service which will convert your email address to an image, which then allow users to embedded it in forum or website, so that spam bot can’t collect your email address when they crawl the website.
The spam bots search the websites and create mailing list to send the spam. They take the email addresses written on your website page in text format and send you spam emails. This make us dare not to provide our real email address in any forums or websites.
But, Spam Proof eMail Generator comes out with a great idea – convert the email address to image format. This make spam bot can’t read the email address when they crawl a website.
Although some may say that spam bots can get pass CAPTCHA, sure they can pass through the image email address. But, at least the image email address can protect and prevent some of the spam bots to read your email address, isn’t it?
I hope that the author of this website can add some features and make the text inside the image harder to read. For those who know Photoshop or Paint.NET, you probably can create a similar image by your own. But for those who don’t know how to use these softwares, you may try it.

As you can see, there are totally 4 new buttons added. The first button is the button which opens the “Recent Folders” menu. This feature is very useful when you are moving files from a folder to another folder. The second icon is your “Favorites” menu. You can add files, folders, document names, and even file filters on it. In this example, i had added “My Documents” to the list.
