I have MS Powerpoint presentations I want to have someone show for me
in my absence. However, I'm not willing to share!
I can convert the PP into a .exe file, so my specific needs are:
1. Seperate user and administrator passwords
2. User password is only good for 1-2 file showings
3. File becomes unusable after a set amount of time.
Any suggestions?

Yes: forget that.

If you don't want to share, don't give away.

Publish your slides in an online format. Make them available via
secure web server until you don't like the people you shared them with
any more. Then make them unavailable again.

There are numerous enough formats and restrictive web widgets to keep
people from being able to right-click, save, print, etc. PITA if you
ask me, but they DO exist. As do methods of circumventing them, not the
least of which are screen captures.

Long story short, if they want to steal your content they are going to
steal your content. Best you can do is make it a little less
convenient. I'm sure you can find a commercial web host out there
someplace that will be more than happy to sell you "secure, theft-proof
presentation hosting." Maybe Web-Ex or some such.
