Default Worksheet Protection - Enhancement

Don't think so:

A) Worksheet protection is trivial to bypass. Once that occurs, the user
can unlock a cell without ever triggering an event.

B) Code can be bypassed simply by holding down the shift key when
starting.

C) Even if your code is protected, it's not encrypted. Using a Hex
Editor on your file can easily find a password stored in a module
(unless you also include some encrypt/decrypt routines).

Is there a way with code to give more strength to worksheet protection, in
addition to ToolsProtectionProtect **** ? Something like saying that
changing any locked cell requires a password, which is contained in the code.
The only way to change the cell would be to first comment out the code.
Something like that.
