Is it possible to lock your files that you have placed on your CD for the CD to function? What I mean is can you stop a person from just opening the files on your CD and copying them their harddrive?

The simple answer is: No /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

There is [debatably?] no way of stopping ppl taking what they want from your CD. One way to stop most ppl is to put all the files in a password protected zip file, and have it extract to an obscure location. Then you can run it from there and delete all the files upon exit.
