Can I set-up Outlook to promp for a password before it is opened?

I let my younger daughter play games and IM on my account so I can keep an
eye on her. But when Grandma bb sits she gets nosey and I would like to keep
my mail private. Can I password protect my Outlook(full office pro version)
so that I have to put a password in before I start it up now? Any help would
be great, thanks.
Paulie :)

Why not just setup a separate User account for Grandma? That way she has no
access to anything you don't want her to have. Set her up as a Limited
User. She can still do everything ... except access any of your Personal
stuff.

Right click on OUtlook Today, select Properties, then Advanced. Set your password from there and Don't Forget It.
