- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- ASC lets administrators set up rules for the local computer, defining when
- any program can be executed and by whom. You can control access to any
- 32-bit software, such as games, Internet browsers, or anything else depending
- on the time of day and day of week.
- Configuration is as simple as setting up login hour restrictions. Just choose
- a program, define users who should be affected by the rules, and choose when
- to enable and disable access on a one-week grid.
- If users try to access the program outside of the allowed hours, they're given
- an access-denied message.
- ASC enhances access control for Windows NT users and helps to maintain a more
- protected environment.
-
- Main features of ASC :
-
- - Allows you to create a list of the 32-bit applications you want to control.

- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- IMPORTANT! If you've got ASC not from our web page, but from the other
- source (magazine CD or some software library), please visit our home
- page - you'll probably find the later version.
-
- To correctly install (and uninstall) ASC you MUST have administrative
- privileges.
-
- To install ASC, just run the "asc.exe" and follow the instructions.
- You'll need to select the target directory to install.
-
- IMPORTANT! We strongly recommend you to install ASC to the NTFS partition
- because it provides with protection from deleting ASC's files by users
- without administrative privileges.
-
- If you wish to install ASC without an user intervention you should launch
- ASC setup with the /s parameter. The idea here is to provide an install
- that can be used with a batch file.
-
- IMPORTANT! The ASC Service MUST works under system account.
