- ---------------------------------------
- Kidproof is an application for kids and parents. It allows you,
- the parents, to protect your programs when your child is using your PC.
- Having Kidproof is like having a childÆs desktop within your desktop.
- When you launch Kidproof, you are starting a mini-desktop. You add
- programs to Kidproof that your want your child to launch. When your child
- is launching programs within Kidproof, the real desktop, your own, is
- safe and secure. Your child will not be able to access anything that is
- outside of Kidproof.
-
- Kidproof is very similar to Program Manager. If you know how to use
- Program Manager then you already know a lot about Kidproof. As for kids,

-
- With Kidproof, you are not required to exit any application you are using
- just because your child wants to use your PC. Kidproof will protect your
- already running applications Your child will not be able to access any
- applications that are not started from Kidproof.
