If you're really serious about this, you could create a folder in your MS
Office 2004 folder in Applications called ent. Then drag your Entourage
application file into it, option-drag the "Office" folder of the MS Office
folder into the ent folder to make a copy of it there. Then use Disk
Utility's disk image from folder command to create an encrypted disk image
of the folder so that you have a disk image called "ent.dmg" in your MS
Office 2004. Then delete the ent folder. You can mount the disk image, then
drag the Entourage application icon into the dock, then unmount the disk
image. Clicking the Entourage icon in the dock will cause the disk image to
be mounted and the app to be launched if and only if you enter the disk
image password when prompted.
If you don't want to use the dock, you can use a script like this.
set dmgpath to "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/ent.dmg"
do shell script "hdiutil attach " & quoted form of dmgpath
set entouragepath to "/Volumes/ent/Microsoft Entourage"
set entapp to ((POSIX file entouragepath) as string)
tell application "Finder"
open (entapp as alias)
end tell
You'll need to also manage the task of unmounting the disk image when you're
finished in Entourage.
This will make updating Microsoft Office a bit of a chore, too.
