One of the nice UI improvements is that you can add programs to the protected-app list simply by finding them in the list of running processes, right-clicking them, and choosing Configure Apps. That adds them to the list on the spot, you don't have to track them down by their path. You can even do several at once by holding CTRL while clicking to select multiple lines.
