WinU for Windows 95
Windows 95 is great, but it's not very secure. How can parents control
which programs their children use? How can stores, schools, and libraries
allow their computers to be used by the public, yet prevent people from
changing the configuration of complex computer systems? How can
businesses let employees use the software they need to do their jobs, yet
prevent them from accessing or installing other programs? How can anybody
keep a log of which programs were run, by who, and for how long?
That's what WinU is for. WinU is a Windows 95 "parental control" system
with time-out and security access 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 set up a different password-
protected WinU desk for every member of the family. You can also
password-protect each individual program on a desk. And you can limit the
time that any program or desk can be used.
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.
System administrators will appreciate the easy desk-management tools.
They make it fast and simple to copy program-launch buttons to other
desks, to add, delete, or copy desks, or to clone entire WinU
configurations onto a new computer without re-entering anything. And you
can administer configurations, passwords and time limits "on the fly" from
a remote file on a network server.
WinU offers rock-solid security. With it, you can deny access to all
non-WinU programs, even programs that are run while WinU is active. And
WinU can track exactly when programs were run, by who, and for how long.
WinU allows you to use any Windows bitmap as its background image. Use
your company logo or your favorite picture. Show the image full-screen
behind the buttons, or put the image in the top half and the menu buttons
on the bottom to give an unobstructed view.
Best of all, WinU simply cannot be shut down improperly or maliciously.
It provides permanent, unstoppable security coverage for your Windows 95
computer system.
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 folder other than the one you
specify. It will not change any system files other than the Registry (per
Microsoft standards). If you choose to uninstall, simply run the
uninstaller program.
WinU installs the following files to the folder you choose:
winu.exe the WinU program, file 1
winu2.exe the WinU program, file 2
winu3.exe the WinU program, file 3
winu4.dll the WinU program, file 4
uninwinu.exe the WinU uninstaller

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.
How To Order WinU
You are welcome to test the evaluation version of WinU for 30 days. That
is, you can run the program on 30 different dates. These dates do not
have to be consecutive calendar days. If you don't run WinU on a
particular date, it doesn't count against your 30 days. This gives you
plenty of time to try it under actual working conditions on your own
system, to see if it meets your needs. After the trial period, you must
either purchase WinU or remove it from your system.

Volume 1: "He Who Laughs, Lasts!" Reverend Lowell's Treasury contains
thousands of humorous anecdotes collected by Reverend Lowell during his
long career as an ordained minister. After thirty years of public
speaking from the pulpit, the podium, and on television, he has amassed
over 200,000 items, and Reverend Lowell's Treasury represents the "cream
of the crop." These are Reverend Lowell's favorite funny stories,
revealing quotes, interesting anecdotes, and zingy one-liners. And
there's nothing that would be unsuitable in any public setting. There are
plenty of items to choose from. Each volume of the Treasury covers a
different topic, and contains at least as many items as you'd find in a
full-size book. Many are illustrated in color or black-and-white. You
can search for any item by keyword or first line. Or simply browse
through every item page by page.
