Locking Appliccations

[DSchindler]

hey all, How can i password protect an application so others cannot use it? especially system preferences. Thanks in advance

The best way is to password protect your account and make another account for Guests. You can give them whatever programs you want and they will not be able to mess up your system settings or anything else.

I have done that but i want it to ask me for a password when i open System Prefrences b/c that acts like an application.
