Adding the [Restrictions] Section to the PROGMAN.INI file allows you to restrict
users from messing up the Program Manager and Windows in several ways...
================================================================================
[Restrictions]
NoSaveSettings=0
NoFileMenu=0
NoClose=0
NoRun=0
EditLevel=0
================================================================================
NoSaveSettings=1
This will dim the "Save Settings on Exit" command in the Program Manager
Options menu, preventing the desktop from being permanently rearranged.
================================================================================
NoFileMenu=1
This will remove the entire File menu from the Program Manager. This does pose
a small problem in that exiting Windows will not be possible using the menus.
However, ALT-F4 still works, and the Program Manager window can also be closed,
thereby leaving two alternative ways to exit Windows.
================================================================================
NoClose=1
This will dim the "Exit Windows..." command in the Program Manager File menu,
preventing a user from exiting Windows. Alt-F4 and the "Close" command in the
Program Manager's Control Box are also disabled. Windows can still be exited
by third party utilities which bypass the Program Manager.
================================================================================
NoRun=1
This will dim the "Run..." command in the File menu, thus preventing a user
from starting a program not already present as an icon in Program Manager.
================================================================================
EditLevel=(1-4)
A value of 1 will prevent the creation of new Program Manager Groups, or the
deletion of current Groups (except empty ones).
A value of 2 will provide additional protection by also preventing the creation
and deletion of Program Manager Items. Items (icons) are also fixed in their
place and cannot be dragged (moved) around within Program Manager Groups.
If the "Auto Arrange" command, in the Program Manager Options menu, is turned
on, the icons may change position within the groups, but the effect is not
permanent unless the "Save Settings on Exit" command is enabled.
A value of 3 will provide additional protection by also preventing modifications
to the command line entry in the Properties dialog box.
A value of 4 will provide additional protection by also preventing modifications
to all entries in the Properties dialog box.
