Terminate Settings Screen

Napsterminator can lock Napster three different ways.

Termination Lock Types:

 This always allows Napster to run.

 This always closes Napster before it ever opens.

 This will display a password screen which the user must know the password in order to run Napster.

Note: If logging is enabled, it will always log when then user tries to open Napster regardless of the type of termination lock on Napster.

Logging:

 This enables logging of when the user tries to open Napster.

 This will open the log file in notepad.

 This lets the Administrator control the path of the log file. We suggest you keep it in the windows file where users are not likely to find it.

Note: We suggest you enable logging only if you wish to know when and who uses Napster on the local machine.
