MegaLauncher (ML) has lock category. Any apps you put in that folder will be locked. When you want to launch the app by tapping the lock category, it will ask you to enter password (which can be different than the system lockout password).

Below is a screenshot of my ML lock category (Uploaded to My Gallery):

ML also has hidden category option. I hide the All and Unfiled categories. The neat thing about the setup is all of the apps in the lock category wont be listed in the All category.

I put a lot of apps in the lock category such as Applications, MSBackup, FastCPU, FileZ, JackFlash, MSImport, PiDirectII, MSAutorun, Prefs, Security, etc. Apps that may reveal the content of the Clie, like file managers (McFile, ExBox, MSGate, etc.) would need be in there if you let others to play games in your Clie but don't want them to mouse around its content.

There are freeware that has built-in additional security like CryptoPad and Yaps. I put most of private notes, account, passwords in there.

If I remember right LauncherX and ZLauncher also support locked categories, however I'm not sure if it works well because in some cases you can go back to default launcher anyway.

ML will ask you to type the password if you want to exit it. You can put the 'Applications' in the lock category so you can also secure the back door, so to speak. This lock category is really cool option.

That is what MSAutorun for. I just set it to launch ML whenever I insert the MS. ;)

MSAutoRun will put a little file in MS that will automatically instruct the Clie to launch whatever app you have selected with MSAutorun upon inserting the MS.  Of course you need to do this to every MS you have.

If you think you can zip and lock the apps, try FlyZip (http://palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?prodID=45129). The good thing about it is that the zipped files will be compressed and you can save them in MS. The bad thing is that you need to unlock and unzip them before you can use them, which could be a paint. Read Sebring's post in this thread (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10154&pagenumber=4) for more detail about FlyZip.
