Let’s assume that you are going to hand over your computer for a few hours to your kids or someone close like your friend or relative. At such times, you might not want anyone running your apps or programs for privacy or security reasons. Thus it is far better to block programs from running beforehand over the computer to someone. Sure, you can create a guest account but this will take some time. Rather than creating a guest account, it is convenient to block particular apps on your computer. To do this, you can opt for a third party software called AskAdmin, which can help you to block programs within moments. It is almost the same as our very own freeware called Program Blocker, which comes with password protection as well.
Block Programs with AskAdmin
It is really easy to get started with AskAdmin. To block programs in Windows with AskAdmin, do follow these steps. At first, download and open this tool.
