Require password on app in Windows 7?

Is there any way to require a password on an app?

For example, Google Chrome, if I start the app, I want it to require me to type my password in... just this app. I don't want people to access my sites that I keep logged in.
 
That's kind of a half-assed way to implement security. You should have your own account, with encryption. If you want something easier under a single user account, I'd run portable versions of the programs you use from an encrypted folder.

Actually I was about to add something similar to my post. I agree doing multiple accounts would be a MUCH easier (and safer) way to go about this.

It's fine, I'm not that worried. I just want to not have people open Google Chrome. My friends are dumb.

Sounds like they're in good company then. If putting a sign on your door that says "I'm not home, go away. Really." is enough to stop them, then your solution will probably be fine.
