When the final file is created the Program Project .ezb format are stored and others can open my project and they make the changes. I want to do something that no one can do this work.

Okay, you are interested in something that prevent others to make changes to your easyboot-file(s) particular the ***.ezb-files
As far as I know there is no such option built-in to Easyboot
However you can copy your ***.ezb-files (background included) to a temporary folder and use ZIP-program to compress folder with a password.
You can then extract back your originally ***.ezb-files into folder ezboot whenever it is needed
Note: its only folder ezboot that needs to be compressed and password protected
In fact, I have a copy of several ezboot-folders that contains different backgrounds and different ***ezb-files that has different menu system.
I frequently change the whole folder ezboot to get another look and different menus.
Especially interesting is this to sub-menus, as I can copy these into different projects without recreating the whole sub-menu
You of course must also copy background picture related to every different menu, including the background for the sub-menu(s)

@BehdadsoftQuote: “I compressed this folde with zip format but when load cd show error”
I think I totally misunderstood what your goal is
I thought it was the files in your installed EasyBoot that you mean
But now it seems that it is the files in your build ISO-file that you are interested to protect.
But protect against what
My point was mainly to save your “original files” in folder ezboot which certainly is not what you are asking for as solution.
So you want “super-protection” for the files in your build ISO-file?
Is this a correct description of your request?
But your first request was – and I quote: “I want change .ezb format after Build Project”
Is this what is to be understood?
Finally, if your goal is to protect your created ISO-file you can use UltraIso for this operation:
Launch UltraIso and open created ISO-file (the ISO created by EasyBoot).
In UltraIso click on tab “Tools" chose "Compress ISO"
Check “Encryption” and push on “Set password” >> push on “Compress” and when done, push on “Close”-button.
From this point no one can touch you created ISO-file anymore without setting password.
Attention! You cannot run this encrypted and compressed ISO-file from USB
Or give me some better description what your goals really are
I’m confused

Thanks.I wan't encrypte Iso. I want only encrypte ezboot Folder.

@BehdadsoftQuote: ”I want only encrypte ezboot Folder”
This is not possible with tools provided in EasyBoot\UltraIso
But you can as showed, at least encrypt and protect your ISO-file

@BehdadsoftQuote: ”but when enable allow lower case and make ISO , When loaded by windows XP sp2 show this error”
Note: if you only goal is to integrate setup of different WinXP-systems, then there are no need to check “Allow lower case”
Anyway, problem you run into has nothing to do with if “Allow lower case” is checked or not!
You forgot to copy “ident-files” (sometimes also called “tag-files”) to both “setup-roots” (“Primary root” and the “Second root”).
Ident-files ("win51" and more files) must be copied to the root “EasyBoot\disk1” and to “second root” which is folder below i386 (xpen).
Example where to copy “ident-files”:
Note: I use a folder xpen as “boot-folder” in example below.
EasyBoot\disk1\ win51 (and more ident-files, because this is “the primary root”)
EasyBoot\disk1\ xpen\ win51 (and more ident-files, and a bunch of setup-files. Note: this is “the second root”)
EasyBoot\disk1\ xpen\ i386\ (ident-files not necessary in here)
A brief explanation how it works (example showing WinXP): When you start setup (running equivalent “w2ksect.bin”) this starts setupldr.bin in folder “xpen”, and setup is looking on the root of CD\DVD-unit (“primary root”=EasyBoot\disk1) for win51 (and more ident-files).
Files from i386 are then copied to two different folders on [C:] (one boot-folder and another folder holding installation-files). When finished, computer reboots and continues installation. Installation program now looks on the “second root”=EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN, you have changed this in “txtsetup.sif >> Setupsource”.
That’s why you need ident-files in two places. I now, it’s seems stupid, but necessary!
Note: Setup-program still needs to have CD/DVD in reader-unit!
Note: you can test using my script “easyboot-aio.script” that doesn’t “forget” any files
Script automatically creates needed boot-folders and also automatically hex-edit all files and automatically gives you the right menu command to use in easyboot menu

ThanksI've done these things. Everything works properly only when I activate the option allow lower case . This problem is caused.

@BehdadsoftQuote: ”Everything works properly only when I activate the option allow lower case”
Solution is to use my script “easyboot-uppercase” to run uppercase to all files and folder names
Then your AIO-build works regardless you check “Allow lower case” or not
You can point to folder disk1 and run uppercase to everything as this doesn’t affect EasyBoot in any way
But I don’t understand why you check ”Allow upper case”
Have you integrated Hiren?
If this is the case, then temporary remove folder HBCD before run uppercase and finally move folder HBCD back to folder disk1.

I use this script & change to lower case but show this error : Couldn't find NTLDR 
I don't use Hiren.

@BehdadsoftQuote: ” I use this script & change to lower case but show this error : Couldn't find NTLDR”
If you don’t use Hiren, why do you check “allow lower case
You can check “Optimize” and if using Linux-distros, also check “Joliet”
Note: checking Joliet doesn’t affect anything at all for setup of WinXP (or any NT5-system).
So why not uncheck “Allow lower case”
I quote from my post nr; 13
Quote: Solution is to use my script “easyboot-uppercase” to run uppercase to all files and folder names
I didn’t advise you to “lower-case” files and folders.
I advised you to run “uppercase” to files and folders.
Basically, test to NOT check “Allow lower case” when creating ISO as AIO-setup of different NT5-systems (Winxp etcetera) doesn’t need to have this option when creating ISO.

@BehdadsoftGood morning to you @Behdadsoft
Quote: ”because I wan add other files to Iso and it's change automaticaly to uppercase”
Then do it this way:
1. Move folder ezboot and files and folders that are NOT related to your AIO-setup-files (only keep files and folders related to you setup-files for different WinXP etcetera still in folder disk1)
2. While still having your AIO-setup left in folder disk1 – run uppercase to everything in folder disk1
3. Move back all files and folders – including folder ezboot – to folder disk1
4. Create ISO with “Allow lower case” checked
This fixes the “ntldr” problem and also makes it possible for you to have “Allow lower case” checked.
Note: Make it your habit to always create the AIO-build separately (and test it of course with “Allow lower case” checked) before you put all other files and folders that are NOT related to AIO-build into folder disk1.
Then create the final ISO.
In this way nothing is changed to those “other” files and folders
But I still don’t get the picture why you need to check “Allow lower case” when creating ISO
