In the truth I am trying to only protect 1(one) executable archive "exe" of an application in delphi that also it is the only archive of the CD-R. Try to place a password, but this password could easily be shared, therefore it would like to find a way to protect against copies. Thanks.

Hmm, well if you're trying to protect something like a game then I'd say something like Securom. If you're trying to make it so no one can read the data easily (something that is MUCH easier to do) then just get a copy of PGP and encrypt the heck out of it. Understand, that encryption is only as good as your passphrase. Don't use a password. Use an entire sentence. Other than that. Unless you're using a modified drive you're completely at the mercy of you medium. In this case a medium which if stolen can be easily compromised.
