Nice program!
However, just like many other login programs, it can be bypassed by a disk drive with a startup file.
I suggest adding an option to install the SertexSecurity startup on a floppy disk so it can be placed at the bottom side, which is loaded before the others.

If you want to make it really secure then I recommend encrypting all the files with the password.

They are already hashed with SHA256, which is a lot more secure than encryption which is, in this case, a better option than encryption.

I think you misinterpreted what he said.
The login password is hashed with SHA2,
What he meant is encrypt (with AES or something) the filesystem so an intruder which bypassed your login cannot read your sensitive files (Although he can inevitably delete them)
You cannot compare the security of hashes and encryption, as they are two very different things.

However, just like many other login programs, it can be bypassed by a disk drive with a startup file.
It's pointless to say that, there is absolutely no programs that is safe from this, simply don't put disk drive beside your sensitive computers.

Hashing is a one-way encryption.

You only hash the password. While this is intelligent, a full system encryption will go better.
I might actually do this later.

I'd recommend using hash+salt to store passwords, in the case of someone getting pass the login system, they won't be able to guess the password after looking at the hash.
