Purpose of the program

Restrict access to your computer with Security Administrator for Windows 95/98. This password-protected security utility enables you to impose a variety of access restrictions to protect your privacy and stop others from tampering with your desktop. You can deny access to each individual component of several Control Panel applets, including Display, Network, Passwords, Printers, and System. You can disable your boot keys, DOS windows, Registry editing, and network access. Hide your desktop icons, individual drives, Start menu items, or even the entire taskbar. You can also apply password protection to Windows and restrict users to running specific applications only. Security restrictions can be applied universally or just to specific users. You'll find the program interface very easy to negotiate. Excellent online help is available.

How to lock your personal computer with a password

By default Windows does not require a valid user name and password combination for a user to create and use a local Windows machine. Such feature allows unknown user to penetrate to your computer when it is undesirable. This functionality can be change to require this validation or any additional password may be assigned for more security.

Here is two ways to lock up your PC by password:

•	Always check password on boot up.

•	Require User”s Validation for Windows Access.

After setting up these options you need to reboot your computer for they to come into force.

For more security, you may disable booting from diskette in the system setup of your computer.

Always check password on boot up

This is a simple way to stop unauthorized access to your PC by means of starting Security Administrator in exclusive mode on boot up. This way is best for single-user environment and very easy-to-use because you need not to change your current network configuration.

There are several security options, which you should set up to lock the computer safely with a password.

•	Set up the option Disable Function Keys on Boot Up to disable all interruption keys such as “F5”, “F6” and “F8”. It will allow you to deny access to real DOS mode through the startup menu.

•	Set up the option Allow Booting to the Previous Operating System to disable the ability of booting to the previous version of Windows or DOS.

•	Set up the option Suppress Safe Mode Warning Message to disable access to the computer through safe mode.

•	Set up the option Always Check Password on Boot Up to require Password Validation on boot up.

•	Use the File-User's password item in the main menu to assign the password.

•	Use the item File-Administrator's password to lock up the Security Administrator with a password.

Require User's Validation for Windows Access

There is a flexible way to deny unauthorized access to a computer under multiuser environment. Especially, this method is very effective for personal computers connected to a network. All existing users will be able to access to the computer except unknown. Each user will use their own user name and password. Read carefully all instructions below to avoid dangerous situations such as locking out yourself.

There are several security options, which you should set up to deny safely unauthorized access of an unknown user to your PC.

•	Set up the option Disable Function Keys on Boot Up to disable all interruption keys such as “F5”, “F6” and “F8”. It will allow you to deny access to safe mode or to real DOS mode through Startup Menu. If you try this protection first time, please, do not turn on this option untill you successfully set it up. See important summary below.

•	Set up the option Allow Booting to the Previous Operating System to disable the ability of booting to the previous version of Windows or DOS.

•	Set up the option Suppress Safe Mode Warning Message to disable access to the computer through safe mode.

•	Set up the option Require User's Validation for Windows Access to require user's validation on Boot Up.

•	Use the item File-Administrator's password to lock Security Administrator with a password.

It is important

You need to create at least one user profile, and to define a password for it. Make sure that the Microsoft Family Logon is enabled in the network configuration, and is set as Primary Network Logon. To create a user profile, use the item Users in the Control Panel. To Install Microsoft Family Logon, use the item Network in the Control Panel.

How to install Microsoft Family Logon

To install Microsoft Family Logon, follow the instructions:

•	Open the item Network in the Control Panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network).

•	Check the list of the installed network components. If you don’t see the Microsoft Family Logon there then install it. See below.

•	To install Microsoft Family Logon, press the button Add, choose the Client item in the dialog box, then press the button Add. Choose the item Microsoft in the list of Manufacturers and the item Microsoft Family Logon in the list of Network Clients, then press the Ok button.

•	The last and a very important step is to set Microsoft Family Logon as Primary Network Logon. To do this, use the combo box Primary Network Logon, which is situated below the button Add in the Network item of the Control Panel (where you was installing Microsoft Family Logon).

Important summary

Restriction Require User's Validation for Windows Access will always work properly if you use Microsoft Family Logon as Primary Network Logon. Be careful with this restriction, do not set up the option Disable Function Keys on Boot Up until this restriction works properly! If you can not access to your computer after setting up this protection then:

•	Boot up your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 key while booting up.

•	Start Security Administrator and remove this restriction.

•	Reboot the computer in normal mode.

Custom Folders
Customizing Shell Folders

By default Windows has no a possibility to customize Shell Folders. For example, you can not assign the same desktop for any first two users and different desktop for third user. Only separate shell folders can be assigned for each user. It is impossible to make a common shell folder such as Desktop for two or more users if you use standard Windows tools.

Security Administrator enables you to realize it. You can customize not only Desktop, but also Favorites, Recent Documents, My Documents, Start Menu, Programs, Startup, Network Neighborhood and other Windows Shell Folders.
