Protecting All Workbook and Macro from users

I have a workbook with 10 worksheets, other than one, all the rest are hidden. They will unhide by macros as required.
I have protected the individual worksheets, the VB Editor and the Workbook.
I now find that access can still be obtained to the macro names via the Tools/Macro/Macros.. option on the toolbar, although only the "run" and "cancel" options are available. This could still allow a user to select the macro and run it, therefore opening worksheets which I dont want any unauthorised user to know about.

I suppose I could create a new toolbar without the Tools option but is there any other simplier way to avoid the above?

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Hello,

Why not have a PASSWORD entry at the start of each macro, if the PASSWORD is not correct, then MACRO is the exited?

Is this possible?

Instead of Sub Macro1() try Private Sub Macro1(), this should hide the macro from the macro list.
