Sure, select all cells and unlock them (FormatCellsProtection), then
select those columns and lock them (FormatCellsProtection again), and
protect the sheet (ToolsProtection).

have read solution like:
tools|Protection|protect workbook|make sure the Structure box is checked.
That does help.

But how come
That said, this kind of workbook protection is easily broken?

Excel internal sheet and book protection is quite weak.

Password-cracking programs are many and readily available from the Internet.
