Default Password Protection?

Is there some way that I can put a password protection on LimeWire so that my kids do not use it? I am using Windows XP

Have LW in your user account. And that your copy is an admin copy. ie: they'd need to know the admin password to use it. But then I don't know which OS you're using. Nor do I know the ins & outs of that. Or put it into a folder inaccessible to them; ie: admin or user only permissions.

Perhaps a windows user can put that a bit better than I can.

LOTR said it pretty well - (for a Mac guy he is pretty Windows savy)

I wouldn't worry about it. If you don't put a shortcut on your desktop who would stumble onto it? If someone did what would they do with it by accident? If you are still concerned do as LOTR suggests - as an XP administrator make it only available to your account.
