Adding A New User

Crowd Control allows you to create a list of authorized users and to control their use of your computer.  To add a new user, click the “Add User” button on the Toolbar.  This starts the New User Wizard which will help you setup the new user.  Follow the Wizard’s instructions and use the context-sensitive help if you have questions about your selections for the new user.

When a new user is created, their name and icon is added to the list of authorized users in the Crowd Control window.  A list of authorized users also appears in Crowd Control’s tray icon.

New users are not added to the tray icon's menu  list until Windows is restarted or another user logs in.

Overview

Crowd Control is an exciting new program from Sahalie Software that allows you to take control of your Windows 95 computer.  With Crowd Control, you can set up Windows 95 user accounts for each user of your computer.  Each user has his or her own desktop, Start Menu, Programs folder and other Win 95 folders.  In addition, you can place restrictions on users to control use of the computer and minimize the risk that other users will accidentally delete important files or configuration settings.

With Crowd Control, you control:

Users.     Only authorized users of your computer will be allowed to log on to Windows 95.

Access to Drives.     Hide selected drives from individual users.

Access to Programs.     Restrict individual users to running only certain programs.

Windows 95 Folders.     Give each user his or her own Start Menu, Programs Folder, Favorites Folder, Desktop and Recents Folder.

Windows 95 Settings.     Place restrictions on the ability of individual users to access the system and system settings.  Disable Registry Editing tools and access to the system configuration settings in Control Panel.

Windows 95 Start Menu.    Disable access to the following Start Menu items:  Run, Find and Settings.  You can also hide all items on the user’s Desktop.

Use of DOS Based programs.    Restrict access to the MS-DOS prompt and single mode MS-DOS applications.

WARNING!  Crowd Control is a powerful tool.  If not used carefully, it can lock you out of your system or prevent you from making changes to your system.  It is important that at least one user not have any restrictions for using the computer.

System Requirements:  Crowd Control is designed to run only on Windows 95.  It will not work with Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT.  It is recommended that you have at least a 486 computer with 8 mb of RAM.


Running Crowd Control When Windows Starts

When Crowd Control is set to run at start up, it will check each user who tries to log in to Windows 95 to make sure that they are an authorized user.  It will also place a Crowd Control icon in the taskbar tray.  To run Crowd Control at startup, click on the light bulb icon in the Crowd Control window:

If this setting is changed, you will need to restart your computer for the change to take effect.  When Windows restarts, it will prompt you for your user name and password.  When Crowd Control is on, only authorized users are allowed to work in Windows 95.  Unauthorized users are returned to the login prompt.


Removing A User

To remove a user from Crowd Control's list of users, select the user and click on the “Remove User button.”   After a user is removed, that user will not be able to log into Windows when Crowd Control is set to run at startup.  The user’s Programs, Start Menu and Favorites settings will also be removed.

When a user is removed, you are asked whether to delete that user’s profiles directory.  If you do not plan to reinstall that same user again, go ahead and remove that user’s profiles directory.  However,  if you think you may reinstall the user later or if the user shares his Windows 95 folders with other users, keep the profiles directory. See, Adding A Previously-Removed User for advice on using the old profiles directory when reinstalling the same user.


Editing A User's Preferences/Settings

To edit a user’s preferences and settings:

If the Crowd Control windows is not open, click on the Crowd Control tray icon and then select the “Crowd Control settings” option.

Click on the icon assigned to the user whose preferences/restrictions are going to be changed.

Select from the appropriate tab to make changes in the restrictions/settings for that user.

 [To see additional help on settings/preferences, click on the tabs below]:


Installing New Programs

One of the issues that arises with multiple users is that a program installed for one user may not automatically show up in another user’s Start menu or Program Folder.  In addition, depending on how the new application stores information in the Windows Registry, other users may not be able to run the new application at all.  Here are some things you can do to make newly installed programs available to all users.

Install all new programs while logged on as the first user created by Crowd Control’s Welcome Wizard. Crowd Control sets up the first user to use the Windows 95 default Start and Program folders. If an application is installed for this user, it will be easier to add the program’s icon to other users’ Start menu or Programs Folder, as described below. In addition, if you decide to remove Crowd Control from your computer, Windows will revert to the default Start and Program folders, and the application’s icon will remain in those folders.

If a new program does not appear in a user’s Start menu or Programs folder, a shortcut to the program can be added through Crowd Control by following these steps:

1.  Select the user’s icon and click the “Win 95 Folders” tab.

2.  With the Program Folders item selected in the list box, click the Add Shortcut button

3.  If the new application was added while the first Crowd Control user was logged in, the application icon should be visible when the System folder is selected in the Add Shortcut dialog box.  Select the icon and click OK.  The application will appear on the selected user’s Programs folder the next time the user logs on.

If the above procedure is followed but the other user cannot run the application, you will need to reinstall the application while logged in as the other user.  Generally, you should install the application into the same directory that was used for the first user.

To chose a different icon for your new user, search your directories for any .ico files.  The icon will be displayed in the dialog box


Enter the name of your new user here.  If you have not set up any other users, it is recommended that you enter this user without any restrictions, to act as the administrator for your computer.  It is also a good idea to keep the user’s name short, such as using just your first name.


Select one of the icons from this list to identify your new user and then click the “next” button.  If you don’t like any of these icons, click the “browse” button to locate and select other icons.


Click on each drive you want to hide from the user’s view in Explorer, and then click the “next” button when you are done.  If you select a drive by mistake, deselect that drive by clicking on it a second time.


”Run” command will no longer appear on the Start menu.  Applications can still be run by double-clicking on the program file in Explorer, but this option will prevent the inexperienced user from inadvertently starting a program while using the Start menu.


”Find” command will no longer appear on the Start menu.  If you have hidden any drives from a user’s view, the “find” command most often should be hidden.  Otherwise, the user will be able to find files in the otherwise-hidden drive.


User Settings

The User page shows the name of the selected user and the icon associated with that user.

You cannot change the user's name, but you can change the icon associated with the user.

To change the user's icon, click on the icon button shown on the User page.  The built-in icons will be immediately available in the default directory, but you can browse for .ico files in other directories.

See, also, Restricting Your User to Specific Programs, Changing Your Win 95 Restrictions, Win 95 Folders, and Hiding Drives.


Changing Your Win 95 Restrictions
Changing Win 95 Restrictions

Crowd Control allows you to place a number of system restrictions on the selected user.  These restrictions are displayed when you click the Win 95 Restrictions tab.  Changes in the Restrictions placed upon the current user are made by selecting or deselecting these checkboxes [click on each check box for additional help]:

See, also, Restricting Your User to Specific Programs, User Settings, Win 95 Folders, and Hiding Drives.


”Settings” command will no longer appear on the Start menu.  This option will make it more difficult for the user to make changes to the control panel, printer and taskbar settings/preferences.


Desktop shortcuts and folders, including the default folders such as “My Computer,” will no longer be displayed on the user’s desktop.  In addition, the right click menu for the desktop will not be available and the user will not be able to add drag-and-drop shortcuts or folders from Explorer.


The user will not be able to edit the registry with regedit.  This setting is recommended for most users, since editing registry should be attempted by only the most experienced users.


Disables the MS-DOS prompt under the “Programs” folder on the Start Menu.  This option will prevent the user from running a DOS program/command while using the Start Menu.  It will also prevent the user from running DOS programs directly through Explorer or through the Run command on the Start Menu.


Prevents the user from running single-mode DOS programs


The user is prevented from accessing/changing the display, printer, device, network and password settings in Control Panel. The “Settings” command remains on the Start Menu, but it is disabled.


Check this box to limit the user to the programs you select.


Programs currently selected for the user to run.  Initially, this list box contains only the applications which Windows 95 runs at startup.  Those applications can be removed if the user should not have access to them.


Adds to the list of applications for this user by bringing up file list box, from which application shortcuts can be selected.


To remove an application from the list of allowed programs, select it from the list and click on this button.


Restricting Your User To Specific Programs

Crowd Control allows you to create a list of programs that the selected user may run.  If the program is not on the list, it will not start up in Windows 95 for that user.  To create a list of allowed programs:

1.	Select the user’s icon in the Crowd Control user list.

2.	Select the “Programs” tab.

3.	Check the box labeled “Only Run Listed Applications.”

4.	Add programs to the list of allowed programs by clicking the Add Applications button.

5.	Applications can be removed from the list by selecting the application to remove and clicking the Remove Application button.

Note:  To remove this restriction for the selected user, uncheck the checkbox labeled “Only Run Restricted Applications.”

See, also, User Settings, Changing Your Win 95 Restrictions, Win 95 Folders, and Hiding Drives.


Adding Programs to the Restricted User's List
Adding Programs to List of Allowed Applications

To add a program to the selected user’s list of allowed applications, select the Programs tab and click the “Add Application” button.   This brings up the “Add Allowed Application” dialog box. Programs can then be added to the user’s list of allowed programs as follows:

Select a Program folder from the drop-down list box.  By default, the sytem Programs folder is displayed.  This contains all applications installed before Crowd Control was installed.  It also displays applications installed after Crowd Control, if installed by the first user created by the Welcome Wizard.

Search the directory for a program or a shortcut to a program you would like to make available to this user and select that shortcut in the list box.

Push the “OK” button, which adds that shortcut to the user’s list and takes you back to the main window.


Selecting “System” brings up the “program files” subdirectory available to unrestricted users, normally found at c:\windows\program files.

That option allows the user to select from a wide range of available programs.

Selecting the name of another user brings up the “program files” subdirectory for that user, which may make it  easier to locate a particular program.

Programs which do not install shortcuts into the “program files” subdirectory must be located thru the “Browse Computer” button.


Win 95 shortcuts will be listed as .lnk files in the “program files” subdirectories, since they are “links” to the actual .exe files.

In the list of programs available to the user, the actual .exe file will be named.

If you use the “Browse Computer” button to find programs, you must select the .exe file itself and you will be prompted whether you want to create a shortcut.

Click “yes” to add the program to the user’s list.


Hiding Drives

Crowd Control allows you to hide drives from the selected user.

  To hide a drive from the selected user, select the Hidden Drives tab.  Then select the drive or drives you want to hide from the user’s view.  Those drives will be hidden for that drive the next time the user logs in to Windows 95.

  Hidden drives will not appear to the user in Windows Explorer or any common dialog boxes.  Therefore, it will be difficult for the user to view, delete or modify files on those hidden drives.  However, those files can be opened if the user types the full path and name of the file in the File/Open dialog box or the DOS command prompt, or if the user searches for the file with the Find command on the Start menu.

  The user’s ability to access these hidden drives can be limited further by removing the Find command and Disabling the MS-DOS prompt.

See, also, Restricting Your User to Specific Programs, Changing Your Win 95 Restrictions, Win 95 Folders, and User Settings.


No program shortcuts will initially appear in the “Programs” folders on the new user’s Start Menu or desktop. Program shortcuts can be added to the user’s Programs folder in the Win 95 Folders tab in the main Crowd Control window. This is a good option if the user will only have access to a limited number of programs unique to the user, or if you want to configure the user’s programs from scratch.


Program shortcuts from the selected user will be copied into the “Programs” folders on the new user’s Start Menu and desktop.  This option allows the new user to start with the same programs as another user.  Any future changes to this user’s Programs folder will only apply to this user.”


”Programs” folders for the new user will be shared with the selected user, so any changes by either user will apply to both users.  This option should be chosen only if two or more  users want to have identical programs available to them thru the Start Menu and in their desktop folders


Click on the user whose “Programs” folder you want to copy or share for the new user.  This section is not given effect if you select the option to create an empty “Programs” folder.


Displays the contents of the “Programs” folder and Start Menu for the selected user, to assist the new user in determining which user’s “Programs” folder to copy or share.


Creates a folder on the desktop containing the shortcuts and folders in the new user’s “Programs” folder, for easy access to the user’s selected programs.


Selections made during the installation of a new user are summarized here.  If you would like to make any changes now, click the “Back” button until you have reached the window where those changes can be made.


Click to access help.


Click here to cancel adding a new user.


Click here to move back to the previous step in the “Add User” Wizard.


Click here to move forward to the next step in the “New User” Wizard.


Click here to install the new user with the selections which were made in the “New User” Wizard.


Win 95 Folders

Windows 95 sets up a Programs Folder, a Start Menu Folder, a Desktop Folder, a Favorites Folder and a Recent Folder when Windows 95 is first installed.  Crowd Control allows you to configure those folders for each user.  In this settings page, you can add or remove shortcuts in the Win 95 folders for the selected user.  You can also choose a different directory for Win 95 to use for these folders.

Contents of your Win 95 folders can be changed by making these selections [click on specific item for more help]:

See, also, Restricting Your User to Specific Programs, Changing Your Win 95 Restrictions, UserSettings, and Hiding Drives.


Adding a Shortcut to A Selected Folder

Crowd Control allows you to add shortcuts to the selected user’s Windows 95 folders, including the Programs folder and Start Menu.  To add a shortcut, select the “Win 95 Folders” tab.  Then click the “Add Shortcut” button, which brings up the dialog box shown below. [click on specific items for additional help]:


Adding A Subfolder to a Selected Folder
To add a subfolder to a selected folder, just click the “Add Folder” button, type in the name of the subfolder in the dialog box which appears, and then click “OK.”


Removing an Item from a Selected Folder
The “Remove Item” option can be used to remove both subfolders and shortcuts.  Just select the item to be removed, click the “Remove Item” button, and click the “Yes” option in the confirming dialog box.


Programs Folder
Shortcuts in the programs folder are displayed in the “Programs” submenu when the Windows 95 Start button is clicked.


Start Menu
Shortcuts on the Start Menu are displayed when the Windows 95 Start button is clicked.


Desktop folder
Shortcuts in the desktop folder are displayed as icons on the user’s desktop.


 Favorites folder is designed to contain shortcuts to frequently used documents, although the user can also add shortcuts to programs to make them easily accessible.


Recent Folder
Last 15 documents opened or saved by the user are added to the recent folder and are displayed on the “Documents” submenu when the Start button is clicked.  The user cannot edit the recent menu, so the “add shortcut” and “remove shortcut” buttons are grayed when this folder is selected.


Look for the small icon at the far end of the taskbar, in the area where the time is displayed.


Delete
Shortcuts and subfolders for the selected folder are displayed here.


Direct
Complete path to the selected directory is listed here.


Browse
Advanced option to browse for new folder to be displayed as the user’s Programs, Start Menu, Desktop, Favorites or Recent folders.


Explore
Advanced option opens current folder in Windows Explorer.

Working With The Tray Icon

The Crowd Control tray icon which is visible when Crowd Control is running lets you easily change users, change the user’s password, log off a user, or run Crowd Control setup, without exiting Windows.

 [Click on any menu item for additional help on that item]

When Windows is started, the Crowd Control icon will be displayed on the taskbar tray of every user’s desktop.

Click on the icon and chose a user’s name to switch to that user’s desktop.

To change a user’s preferences/settings or to add a new user, click on the taskbar icon and chose the “Crowd Control settings” menu item.  See, Editing A User's Preferences/Settings.

Lists all Crowd Control authorized users, with a check mark next to the user who is currently logged on.  Selecting a user will cause the current user to log out and the logon prompt to display for the selected user.


Crowd Control Settings Menu

Click on the “Crowd Control” menu item to access the settings panel for Crowd Control.  For more information on changing a user’s restrictions through the settings panel, see, Editing A User's Preferences/Settings.


Logs off the current user and brings up login dialog box for new (or same) user.


Changes the Windows login password for the currently logged in Crowd Control user.


Welcome Wizard

The Welcome Wizard will appear automatically when Crowd Control is started for the first time, and you will be prompted for a name and an icon for your first user.

Your first user will be set up without any restrictions, so the first user serves, in effect, as the administrator for your computer.

Crowd Control also sets up your first user to use the Windows 95 default Start and Program folders, so new applications installed when this user is logged on will be available to other users and available if Crowd Control is subsequently uninstalled.

Although restrictions can be placed upon this first user [See, Editing A User's Preferences/Settings], we strongly recommend that you place restrictions only on subsequent users of your computer.


Passwords

Crowd Control provides two levels of password protection:

Windows Passwords

Crowd Control Passwords


Windows Passwords

Each user must enter his or her own password to access Windows when Windows is first started or when that user logs on.  The Windows password for a particular user is selected by that user the first time Windows is started up after that user has been added.  To create your password, type in a password when prompted to do so; you will then be asked to verify your new password.

To access Windows in later sessions, just type in the user name [if it is not already visible], type in your password, and click “OK.”

The Windows password for a particular user can be changed from within Windows while logged on as that user by clicking on the Crowd Control taskbar tray icon and selecting “Change User Password” from the menu which pops up.

HINT!  For children or novice users, we suggest that you select a “blank” password.  If you do so, the user can simply type in his or her name and then click “OK.”


Crowd Control Passwords

In addition to each user’s Windows password, you will need to select a password to restrict access to the Crowd Control settings window.  Users will not be able to change the restrictions/settings for any of the computer users without that password.

You will be prompted to enter your password the first time that the Crowd Control settings windows is opened. That password can be changed by clicking on “Crowd Control” menu item in the Crowd control settings window and then select “Crowd Control Password.”  You will need to enter the old password before you will be able change that password.

Adding A Previously-Removed User

If you are adding a user who have been removed earlier, and you chose the option of keeping the profile directory for that user, take the following steps to reinstall the previous settings:

Click the “Add User” button

Type in the previous user’s name.  The user’s name is not case sensitive, so “sally” will work for a previous user named “Sally.”

In the Add User Wizard, when you reach the choice to “Select Program Folder for User’s Start Menu,” select the option “Create Empty Program Folder.”

When you have finished with your other selections in the Add User Wizard, the original “profiles” settings will be installed for this user.


Crowd Control Security

Crowd Control is a powerful program that allows you to restrict how people can use your computer.  Is the security it provides tight enough to keep out a determined, sophisticated hacker?  No.  Windows 95 is not a secure operating system.  As a result, Crowd Control cannot guarantee that a determined hacker will not be able to get around the restrictions you set for Windows 95.  However, there are some things you can do to lessen this risk.

The easiest way for someone to avoid Crowd Control’s security measures is to boot up from a floppy disk.  If they do so, they will be able to gain full access to the computer’s hard disk.  To prevent someone from doing so, you can purchase a floppy disk lock from many computer stores or mail order companies.  The lock will prevent anyone from inserting a floppy disk and booting up from it.

You can also lessen the risk that a user will get around Crowd Control’s security measures by doing one or more of the following:

Limit the applications the user can run.

Restrict the user from running DOS applications.

Disable the Run, Find and Settings commands on the Start Menu

Disable Registry Editing Tools

For more information on implementing these changes, see, Editing A User's Preferences/Settings.

If you find a weak link in Crowd Control’s security, please contact us [Sahalie Software].


Uninstalling Crowd Control

Crowd Control is designed to use the Uninstall features built into Windows 95.  Follow these easy steps to uninstall Crowd Control from your computer:

Make sure Crowd Control is not running.

Click the Start button.

Select “Control Panel” on the “Settings” menu.

Double Click on the “Add/Remove Programs” icon.

Select the Install/Uninstall tab in the Add/Remove Programs dialog.

Select Crowd Control from the list of programs.

Click the “Add/Remove” button.

Follow the instructions in the Uninstall Crowd Control dialog.

For information on restarting your computer, see the topic Restarting Crowd Control for the First Time After Crowd Control has been Removed.


Restarting Windows 95 After Crowd Control has been Removed

If you have uninstalled Crowd Control, you will be prompted for a user name and password when Windows 95 is restarted.  That dialog box is the same one which appeared when you first installed Windows 95.  Enter a user name without a password if you do not want that prompt to appear again.  However, users of  computers installed on a network will continue to be prompted by Windows 95 for a password whenever Windows is started.
