Not Outlook per se AFAIK, but you can password protect your pst file.

Presumably you wouldn't be asking if you were using a secure version of
Windows (i.e. NT based) since you could, as an administrator, restrict
privileges to the folder where the executable got installed - provided
you used NTFS on the drives. Then those that are supposed to be able to
run Outlook don't have to be bothered with a password.

You really need to mention your version of Windows. I suppose you could
use something like Blumental's Program Protector or ComputerSafe under a
95-based Windows. A Google search on "password protect" should turn up
other possible solutions.

If you cannot set security permissions then your username (account) is
not in the Administrators group. Talk to whomever is the administrator
for your host, or logon as Administrator.
