Protect Compiled Executable from showing open text/passwords

Quick question about compiled executable within' VB6.

Is it possible to hide/obfuscate your source code so it can not be viewed in your compiled executable with a simple notepad? We recently had a "technician" use notepad to retrieve a username and password used for a secure Oracle server from an executable with notepad.

I notepad'd the executable and, sure enough, it was there. I created a simple hello world application and put in an example string password and, as you can see, it's view able from notepad. This happens with more than just VB6. It goes through the .NET C#, ect.

THanks
