## exe-cutie

exe-cutie is a utility for Windows that allows you to gain more control over running any specified program regardless of who and how tried to run it. You can assign one of the several standard actions for it:

  • Ask user to confirm program execution;
  • Deny program execution and notify user;
  • Raise an error (like "access denied" or even more weird one) when somebody tries to launch the executable;
  • Always drop administrative privileges of specified program;
  • Request elevation for the program at every launch;
  • Force system not to sleep / display to be on while the selected program works;
  • Execute another program instead of the specified

The latest version also contains shell extension:

Downloads

See releases page

  • exe-cutie.exe — GUI tool for configuration;
  • emc.exe — console tool for configuration;
  • Actions folder with actions executables described above.

Note: if you have x64 (aka 64-bit) version of Windows use x64 version of the program. Not all actions of x86 (aka 32-bit) exe-cutie will work correctly on Windows x64.

The program was tested on Windows 7, 8 and 10. It might also work on Vista.

Compiled Delphi XE8
Version 1.10.0.0
Date 2 June 2022 Kolkata

Apparently, you should be able to compile it without any problems starting from Delphi XE2.

How it works

This software uses internal Windows mechanism that is called Image File Execution Options to intercept process creation and automatically launch a debugger for the specified program. These small utilities from Actions folder are designed to be set as such debuggers so they can perform some special activity before approving the creation of the original process.
