Uninstall it?

Can you be more specific?

Do you want to completely remove the program or just stop people from opening it?

i just want  to stop people from opening it

Well, remove them

I think he is looking for some sort of security protocol...

san_crazy didn't mention anything about security protocol...

(Well maybe not a quote!  )

Sorry about that!
I couldn't help myself. Your cousin Monoxide put me up to it. 
Which by the way reminds me. Where has ol' Geek001 been for the last 2 days?
He must be totally lost in the land of Win2000.

Let's hope he "pops-up" soon!

Either uninstall the programs, password your entire system, or download some sort of software that locks executables.

Or... if you could be more specific as to what it is you're doing, we might be able to help you better. What programs? Who exactly are you trying to keep off? If it's someone who uses the computer regularly, you could create their own user account. There are lots of way to do what you want to do, but it all depends on what exactly you're trying to accomplish.
