There isn't a "password protection" on it, but there is a Registry
entry which disables the Properties menu. Nothing is completely
secure on Win9x, but it's another hurdle for him to jump over.
Please read the docs and FAQ for full info, as I'm not a regular
Windoze user and don't have the info in my head all the time. :)

Sounds like my mother too. She's an artist, and needed help with the
Colour Picker in Photoshop... but at least she has the sense to
write down steps.
