- 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 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
- winu.hlp the documentation, in Windows helpfile format
- winu.cnt another part of the Windows helpfile
- readme.txt overview and installation instructions
- cloner.exe Clone Setup Builder
- metermgr.exe License Meter Manager program
- pwdmgr.exe Password Manager program
- extract.exe Data Extractor builds data files used by Password Manager
-
- In order to use WinU, you must first install Dial-Up Networking. This is
- a Windows 95 component. It comes with the operating system. WinU uses
- the features of Dial-Up Networking to track modem-using applications.
-
- To install up Dial-Up Networking, open the My Computer icon. Then open
- Control Panel. Then open Add/Remove Programs. Then select the Windows
- Setup tab. The third item in the Windows Setup tab is Communications.
- Double-click on Communications and a new window will appear. The first
- entry is Dial-Up Networking. If this is unchecked, check it and click OK.
- Keep clicking OK all the way back out.
-
- More information on Dial-Up Networking can be found in any Windows 95
- reference, or from the Start button's Help item.
-
-
- 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 fully-functional 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.
