1.1 About File Manager Guard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File Manager Guard (or, for short, FM Guard) is a powerful utility
for Microsoft(R) Windows(tm) 3.1, 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups
(tm) 3.11, that allows one to selectively disable features and
capabilities of File Manager.
You will find FM Guard indispensable if you share you computer
with someone else and you don't want the other one to mess your
system up (even if s/he is someone very special!). Or, if you
allow your kids to play games on your system from time to time,
and want to be sure that everything will be OK when they finish
them. Or if you are a network administrator and your users give you
a headache messing the files up all the time. Or ...
After installing FM Guard, you will be able to prevent user(s)
from performing any or all commands of File Manager, from running
undesirable programs, browsing hidden files, changing file
attributes, etc. FM Guard allows you to select which drives should
NOT be accessible via File Manager. It even provides you with the
possibility to keep the size and location of File Manager's window
in the same place on the screen! And if you need to restore the
capabilities of File Manager for your use, just enter a password
and they are back!
_______________________________________________________________
1.2. What's new in this version :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- documentation updated;
- SETUP utility is included in the package;
- bug(s) fixed:
"The 'Disable' command does not turn off the 'NoDragDrop'
restriction"
"Undefined function AllocPtr in module CSL*.DLL"
"Cannot open file FMGUARD.SYS if Windows is installed into the
root directory"
Ver. 1.3:
- documentation updated
- password protection of the command 'Disable/Enable FM Guard';
- new restricting options added;
Ver. 1.0:
- initial release (on the basis of successful experience with
FM StepUp).

1.3.1. What is the difference between registered and unregistered
versions of FM Guard?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unregistered copies of our products are 100% fully functional. We
make them this way so that you can have a real look at them, and
then decide whether they fit your needs or not.
The only difference is that the password required to disable FM
Guard is fixed in unregistered version (and it's displayed in the
dialog box that asks you for it, so that you can completely evaluate
the power of FM Guard, but anyone can easily disable it).
When you register FM Guard with us, you get a personal
Registration Code, allowing you to set up your own password and
turn the 'unregistered' password off.
_________________________________________________________________
1.3.2. WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU REGISTER File Manager Guard ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. A personal Registration Code, allowing you to choose your
own password (and change it as frequently as you want to)
disabling/enabling FM Guard.
2. Disk with the latest version of FM Guard and other Chaosoft
products.
3. The privilege to be personally informed about new major
releases of FM Guard and other software products from ChaoSoft.
4. FREE upgrading to new versions of FM Guard released for the
same or similar operating system (for the purposes of this
offer we consider Windows for Workgroups 3.11 as similar to
Windows 3.1, whereas Windows 95 or Windows NT are NOT similar
to Windows 3.1)
5. FREE 90-days customer support through electronic or regular
mail.
_________________________________________________________________
1.3.3. How to register FM Guard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may register your copy of FM Guard software with a credit card
(Visa, MC, Amex, or Discover), personal check, money order, or
cash. You may also register via CompuServe (GO SWREG, ID# 3858).
You may even make use of the 'bill me later' option - there is no
need to send money right now!
Just run file REGISTER.EXE supplied with the FM Guard package and
it will guide your through the registration process and will print
an order form out for you! (For site license orders please use an
order form from the REGISTER.TXT file).
_________________________________________________________________
1.3.4. May I make a copy for a friend?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure! This is shareware, that means - share it! As long as the
FM Guard package is complete and unmodified in any way, and you
don't sell it, you may make copies of the software and give them
to others, upload them to your favorite BBSes or FTP sites, etc.
Please read file VENDINFO.DIZ for a complete list of our
distribution requirements.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// 2. Installing/uninstalling FM Guard
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Unlike most other Windows applications, FM Guard is not a
stand-alone program; there is no special executable file you would
run to start FM Guard. To use FM Guard, all you need is to
properly install it, and it will run automatically every time you
run the File Manager.
FM Guard comes with convenient and flexible SETUP utility. Use
SETUP when you want to temporarily activate/deactivate the
software or install it onto your hard disk or network drive for
permament use.
If you obtained FM Guard on a diskette or CD-ROM and want to take
a look at the utility without installing it onto your hard disk,
run SETUP.EXE from the FMGUARD directory on the diskette or
CD-ROM and choose the 'Activate' button when prompted.
Now, if you see that FM Guard is not what you need, run SETUP.EXE
and choose the 'Deactivate' button. NOTE: you may wish to first
disable FM Guard with the 'Guard - Disable', available in the File
Manager menu bar.
On the other hand, if you want to give the program a longer trial
and wish to install it onto your hard disk or network drive,
choose the 'Install' button when SETUP.EXE prompts you. Please see
the next section for more information.
Installing on a hard disk or network drive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have already copied all the files from the FM Guard
package onto your hard disk (for instance, you have extracted the
files from an archive), run SETUP.EXE and choose the 'Activate'
button.
If you don't have the FM Guard files on the hard disk, choose the
'Install' instead. Then enter the path to the directory where you
want FM Guard to be installed. In this case, SETUP.EXE will copy
all the files to the new location and then activate them. In
addition, you will be prompted to create a separate program group
for FM Guard. It's not essential to have such a group, but it may
be convenient. In any case, the last word is yours!
Alternatively, you may install FM Guard manually:
1. Create a directory on a hard disk or network drive for FM
Guard, say C:\FMGUARD, and copy all the files from the FM Guard
installation disk into that directory. If you have obtained FM
Guard compressed in an archive, extract all the files into the
FMGUARD directory (or other directory of your choice).
2. Close File Manager.
3. Copy the file FMGUARD.SYS into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on
your hard drive (be sure not to overwrite the newer version of
this file if you already have one!). The directory may have
another name in your system, but you can identify it by the
presence of the files USER.EXE and GDI.EXE (Windows system
files) in it.
4. Open file WINFILE.INI for editing (using Notepad or any other
text editor). This file is located in the WINDOWS directory on
your hard disk (or other directory you specified when
installing Windows). Please note: the file you need is
WINFILE.INI, not WIN.INI.
Find the section [AddOns] in this file and place the following
string right after the string [AddOns]:
FM Guard=C:\FMGUARD\FMGUARD.DLL
(or specify the directory you copied the FM Guard's files in,
if other than C:\FMGUARD).
The resulting portion of WINFILE.INI should look like
this:
...
[AddOns]
FM Guard=C:\FMGUARD\FMGUARD.DLL
...
(... means other lines of the file). Save the file.
If there is no [AddOn] section in you WINFILE.INI file, you may
create one, adding the two lines shown above to the end of the
WINFILE.INI file.
Save the file.
5. Run File Manager.
You should find a new menu item, "Guard", among other items of the
File Manager's main menu. If you cannot see the Guard item in the
main menu of the File Manager, an error has occurred. Please
verify that you have done all the steps above, and, in particular,
specified the correct path in the [AddOns] section of the
WINFILE.INI file. Also, make sure that file FMGUARD.SYS has been
copied in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, and that other files have
not been corrupted when copying them into the FMGUARD directory.
Uninstalling FM Guard:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To prevent File Manager from loading and using FM Guard, choose
'Guard -Disable' from the File Manager main menu, then run
SETUP.EXE and choose the 'Deactivate' button. If you decide to
start using FM Guard later on, run SETUP.EXE and choose
'Activate'.
Alternatively, you may uninstall FM Guard manually:
1. Choose 'Guard' command from main menu of File Manager and then
choose 'Disable' from popup menu. When prompted for the
password, type it in the dialog box. If you have not registered
FM Guard yet, use the word 'FMGuard' as the password.
Otherwise, use the password assigned with PASSWORD.EXE utility
(see below).
2. Close File Manger.
3. Remove the line 'FM Guard=...' from the [AddOns] section of
WINFILE.INI (using Notepad, for example). You may also wish to
comment this line out instead, by placing a semicolon ';' as
the very first character of the line
After that you can restart File Manager: FM Guard will not be
loaded. If you decide later to start using FM Guard again, restore
the string 'FM Guard=...' specifying the complete DOS path to
FMGUARD.DLL, in the [AddOns] section of WINFILE.INI.
The following steps should be completed only if you wish to
remove the FM Guard from your system permanently:
4. Delete all the files from the directory on your hard disk where
you installed FM Guard;
5. Delete file FMGUARD.SYS from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory;

// 3. Restricting File Manager with FM Guard
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
________________________________________________________________
3.1. General considerations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you run File Manager with FM Guard software installed, the
contents of the file FMGUARD.SYS in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
is analyzed to decide which features of File Manager to restrict.
FM Guard is supplied with a sample file FMGUARD.SYS specifying
some 'reasonable' amount of restrictions. You can change the file
to make it suitable for your needs.
If you need to temporarily disable FM Guard while File Manager is
running, choose 'Guard' command from main menu of File Manager and
then choose 'Disable' from pop-up menu. When a dialog box shows
up, enter the valid password. If you are using an unregistered
version of FM Guard, the password is the word 'FMGuard'. It is
fixed and cannot be changed. If you have registered the FM Guard
software with Chaosoft and obtained your personal Registration
Number, you may use the PASSWORD.EXE utility to setup a password
of your choice.
To enable FM Guard again, you can either issue the command 'Guard'
and then 'Enable' from menu, or just restart File Manager.
Recommended actions for preparing to use FM Guard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Before activating FM Guard, set up the desired configuration of
File Manager in the way you would want a user to see it when s/he
initially runs File Manager, including the position and size of
the main window, secondary windows (displaying files and
directories), File Manager options, etc.
2. Choose 'Options' from the main menu of File Manager and make
sure 'Save Settings on Exit' is not checked. Then choose 'Exit'
from 'File' menu while holding the 'Shift' key. This
(undocumented) feature of File Manager will save its current
configuration in the file WINFILE.INI without exiting File
Manager.
3. Activate FM Guard by adding the line 'FM Guard=...' to the
[AddOns] section of the WINFILE.INI file (see section 2 of this
file for details). If you have other extensions of File Manager
installed (such as MSTOOLS.DLL from MicroSoft(R), or FMSTEPUP.DLL
from ChaoSoft), make sure that you have no more than 4 of them (in
case of Windows 3.1) or 5 of them (in case of Windows for
Workgroups 3.11) listed in the [AddOns] section, including FM
Guard.
4. Create a private directory on your hard disk, for instance,
C:\PRIVATE, and copy WINFILE.INI file into that directory.
5. To prevent users from uninstalling FM Guard, add the following
lines to the end of AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your root directory:
----------------- cut here ----------------
@echo off
:StartWin
copy C:\PRIVATE\WINFILE.INI C:\WINDOWS > NULL
win
goto StartWin
----------------- cut here ----------------
The line '@echo off' will suppress echoing the rest of the
commands on the user's screen while executing them.
The line ':StartWin' is not a command, it's just a label to mark
the beginning of the command sequence to be executed each time
user restarts Windows.
The line 'copy ...' will copy your previously saved file
WINFILE.INI from the PRIVATE directory into the WINDOWS directory,
overwriting the existing file (just in case the user has changed
it or removed the 'FM Guard=...' line from it!). You may also wish
to add additional commands here, to overwrite other important .INI
files (WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, etc.) with presaved ones.
The line 'win' starts Windows. The user may then do his/her work
as usual. If s/he decides to change WINFILE.INI and restart
Windows, the next line, 'goto StartWin' will transfer the
execution to the 'StartWin' line. The original WINFILE.INI file
will be restored and all the changes the user might have made
will be lost. This protects your system from uninstalling FM
Guard.
6. Copy file FMGUARD.SYS into WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, if you
have not done so already, and modify it, if necessary. You may
wish to assign the 'read-only' and 'hidden file' attributes to the
file.
7. Add 'winfile.exe' to the list of files loaded automatically on
Windows start-up by changing the line 'load=' in the section
[windows] of the WIN.INI file to read:
[windows]
...
load=winfile.exe <other files, if any, separated by spaces>
...
This will start File Manager automatically on Windows start up and
FM Guard will be activated before a user receives control from
Windows. Otherwise a users would be able to uninstall FM Guard by
modifying WINFILE.INI before running File Manager.
CAUTION: don't assume that placing File Manager's icon into the
'Start Up' group of Program Manager will have the same effect: if
you don't add winfile.exe to the 'load=' line as described above,
a user will be able to disable the loading of all the programs
from 'Start Up' group by simply keeping the key 'Shift' depressed
while Windows is initializing.
8. Make all the other necessary changes (like making the entire
directory WINDOWS\SYSTEM read-only). Now everything is set up!
_________________________________________________________________
3.2. Configuring FM Guard using file FMGUARD.SYS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File FMGUARD.SYS contains commands specifying which features of
File Manager to restrict. This file should be placed in the
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (the directory containing Windows system
files such as USER.EXE, GDI.EXE, etc.) If FM Guard cannot find the
file FMGUARD.SYS in the SYSTEM directory, it displays an error
message and closes File Manager (to prevent users from using
File Manager in the unrestricted mode).
The name of the file FMGUARD.SYS is hardcoded into FM Guard and
cannot be changed.
The format of file FMGUARD.SYS is ordinary ASCII, so that it can
be edited using any text editor (like Windows Notepad). Don't use
word processors to modify this file! (since they may add
formatting codes to the text, that are unrecognizable by FM
Guard).
It's NOT required to put the title [restrictions] at the
beginning of the WINFILE.INI.
For the list of available restricting commands and comments on
their usage please refer to the sample file FMGUARD.SYS supplied
with the FM Guard package.
Each restricting command should be written in a single line.
Each line of the file should contain no more than one command.
If a line contains only 'white spaces' (any combination of SPACE
and TAB characters), it's skipped without processing or warning.
If the first 'non-white-space' character in the line is a
semicolon ';' this line is considered as a comment and the rest of
it is ignored by FM Guard. Otherwise the line is treated as a
restricting command.
Each restricting command should be written using the following
syntax:
command = value
where 'command' is the name of the restricting command, and
'value' is it's value. Both the name of the command and the value
can be surrounded by an arbitrary number of 'white spaces'
(characters SPACE and TAB). Both the name and value are case
insensitive, so that, for example, names 'NoClose', 'NOCLOSE', and
'noclose' are all valid names for the command defining the ability
of the user to close File Manager.
If the specified name of the command is not one of the predefined
names for a FM Guard command, the entire line containing that name
is ignored without error message.
If a restricting command is deleted from the file FMGUARD.SYS or
commented out, no warning is issued, and the corresponding feature
of File Manager is restored to its default.
Most of the restricting commands in the FMGUARD.SYS file are
Boolean commands. The value of such a command can be one of the
following:
1, ON, TRUE, YES - to turn the restriction on,
0, OFF, FALSE, NO - to turn the restriction off.
For example, any of the following commands can be used to prevent
the user from closing File Manager:
NoClose = 1
or
NoClose = ON
or
NoClose = True
or
NoClose = Yes
Note: For all the Boolean commands, setting them to 0, OFF, FALSE,
NO will produce the same effect: enabling the corresponding
feature of File Manager (the default, including when they do not
appear in FMGUARD.SYS at all)
There are also non-Boolean commands, such as NoDrive, UserName,
Password. The values for these commands are the whole strings
rather than Boolean triggers.
Please see FMGUARD.SYS for a complete list of all the available
commands and an explanation of their use.
_________________________________________________________________
3.3. Using PASSWORD.EXE utility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you register FM Guard and obtain your Registration Code
from Chaosoft, you can use the PASSWORD.EXE utility to change the
password required to disable/enable FM Guard on-line.
Just run PASSWORD.EXE, and when the dialog box pops up, enter the
name FM Guard was registered to (EXACTLY as it appears in your
Registration Acknowledgment!), your Registration Code, and the
new password. If the registration information is entered
correctly, the dialog box will display a string that should be
added to your FMGUARD.SYS file. It has the form:
Password = <number>
where <number> contains the password in an encoded form.
You may wish to enter the new password again to verify that the
resulting <number> is the same.
After you add the required 'Password =...' command to FMGUARD.SYS
(in the SYSTEM directory!), the new password can be used to
disable/enable FM Guard.
_________________________________________________________________
3.4. Restricting Program Manager
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may also wish to restrict Program Manager in addition to File
Manager. Please note that the ability to restrict Program Manager
is built-in into Windows and is NOT a feature of FM Guard. The
information below is provided only for reference purposes for your
convenience. If you have any questions about restricting Program
Manager, you should contact the customer support department of
Microsoft, NOT Chaosoft.
The [restrictions] section of PROGMAN.INI is intended to allow system
administrators to restrict access to certain Program Manager functions,
the settings within the section can consist of the following:
[restrictions]
NoRun=
NoClose=
NoSaveSettings=
NoFileMenu=
EditLevel=
Description of Settings:
Entry Value
-----------------------------------------------------------
NoRun = 1 Disables the Run command line on the File menu.
The Run command will be dimmed on the File menu
and the user will not be able to run
applications from Program Manager unless the
applications are set up as icons.
NoClose = 1 Disables the Exit Windows command on the File
menu. Users will not be able to quit Program
Manager (and thus Windows, assuming Program
Manager is set up as the Windows SHELL). The
File/Exit Windows command and the Control
menu/Close command are dimmed. ALT-F4 is also
disabled.
NoSaveSettings=1 Disables the Save Settings on Exit command on
the Options menu. The Save Settings on Exit
command will appear dimmed on the Options menu
and any changes that the user makes to the
arrangement of windows and icons will not be
saved on exiting Windows. This setting
overrides the SaveSettings= entry in the
[settings] section of PROGMAN.INI.
NoFileMenu = 1 Removes the File menu from Program Manager. All
of the commands on that menu are then
unavailable. Users can start applications by
using icons. Windows may still be exited via the
System Menu or ALT-F4.
Note: For all the No* settings, setting them =0
enables them (the default, including when they
do not appear in PROGMAN.INI at all)
EditLevel = Sets restrictions for what settings and features users
can modify in Program manager.
0 -- Any changes may be made (default).
1 -- Prevents user from creating, deleting, or
renaming GROUPS. The New, Move, Copy, and
Delete commands on the File menu are dimmed
when a group is selected.
2 -- All restrictions of level 1, plus prevents
creating or deleting PROGRAM Items. The
New, Move, Copy, and Delete commands on the
File menu are always dimmed.
3 -- All restrictions of level 2, plus prevents
changing command lines for PROGRAM Items.
The text in the Command Line box in the
Properties dialog cannot be changed.
4 -- All restrictions of level 3, plus prevents
ANY changes to PROGRAM Item information.
Prevents changes in any of the areas of the
Properties dialog, it still may be viewed,
though all of the areas are dimmed.
