I understand that you are looking for simple techniques to "thwart noobs from haxxing your shizzle", but in reality, anyone unable to bypass the methods suggested would be unable to bypass a plain text target. Rolling your own solution has so many problems that I cannot even begin to tackle them here. You'll be much better off using an off the shelf protection mechanism.
If you're really itching to try your hand, look at pecompact which allows you to provide your own decryption/encryption algorithm on top of their packer.
I hear ya man. I'm not at that point where I want to make my code hack-proof, but I will keep your thoughts and suggestions in my mail save box for when I do need to go in that directions. -Sid
