If you insert a dummy file into your map and rename it to war3map.wtg and then save your map, you won't be able to open it again. That's the simplest protection method I know, and it's worked through all patches so far.

You'll definitely want to make a backup copy of your map, and Save As instead of Save, since you won't be able to convince the editor to open your map back up once it's protected in this manner.

ExtProtect:

Both great protectors with alot of features, HL has good size-reduction features, and ExtProtect has the ability to lock the map with a password but be able to unlock it fully later.
