WINU Menu System For Windows 95 WinU is a Windows 95 menu system with timeout and security access features. It features three distinct levels of security control, and many flexible configuration options. It's easy to set up, easy to use ... and virtually impossible to circumvent. This makes WinU excellent for parents who want to allow children to use only certain software on the family PC, without worrying that Junior might delete the household tax records. You can even set up a different password-protected WinU desktop for each member of the family. WinU is also ideal for computer stores that want to let the shopping public try their featured software without allowing access to the entire computer. WinU lets you set the amount of time that shoppers (or children) can use a program. It allows a warning "grace period," with a custom warning message that you can set, before it terminates the program. Businesses can use WinU to allow employees to run only authorized software, and make all other programs unavailable. WinU is far better for this purpose than the meager Windows 95 facility, because it is more powerful, more flexible, easier to set up, and simpler for end-users. Vendors and businesses will appreciate WinU's built-in File Logging feature, which tracks exactly when each programs was run, by who, and for how long. And WinU allows you to use any Windows bitmap as its background image. Use your company logo or sales information, or just your favorite pretty picture. You can display the image fullscreen behind the buttons, or put the image in the top half and the menu buttons on the bottom to give an unobstructed view of the image. Installing WinU To install WinU, run the program install.exe that comes with WinU. It will ask you the folder you would like to install into, the Start button group name you prefer, and whether you'd like WinU to run at startup. WinU will not install anything to any other folder, other than the one you specify. It will not change any system files. If you choose to uninstall, simply run the uninstaller program. WinU installs the following files to the directory you choose: winu.exe the WinU program, file 1 winu2.exe the WinU program, file 2 winu3.exe the WinU program, file 3 uninwinu.exe the WinU uninstaller winu.hlp the documentation, in Windows help file format winu.cnt another part of the Windows help file readme.txt overview and installation instructions orderfrm.wri how to order WinU Uninstalling WinU WinU includes an "uninstall" component. When you install WinU, the uninstaller is added to WinU's icons on the Start menu as well as to the usual "Add/Remove Programs" list. To uninstall, run the uninstaller.
