- I think what You're looking for is the [restrictions]-section that can be
- added to progman.ini.
-
- The format is
-
- Parameter Purpose
-
- NoRun= value of 1 disables 'Run'-command in files-
- menu
- NoSaveSettings= value of 1 disables Save Settings on Exit
- NoClose= '1' disables exiting Windows
- NoFileMenu= '1' removes File Menu from Program Manager
- EditLevel= 0 : user can make any change
- 1 : user can't create, delete or rename groups
- 2 : restrictions imposed by EditLevel=1 plus
- user can't create or delete program items
- 3: EditLevel=2 plus user can't change command
- line items for programs
- 4: EditLevel=3 plus user can't change any
- program item information
-
- Put progman.ini on the file server, flag it read only, and you're away.
