- WinU: Security Access Control For Windows 95
-
- Windows 95 is great, but it's not very secure. How can parents control which
- programs their children use? How can computer vendors allow customers to try
- products, yet prevent them 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 menu system with time-out and
- security access control features. It has 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 desktop for each family member. And you can limit the time that any
- program or desktop can be used.
-
- Businesses can use WinU to allow employees to run only authorized software,
- making other programs that want to let the shopping public try their featured
- unavailable. WinU is also ideal for computer stores that want to let the
- shopping public try featured hardware or software without allowing access to
- the entire computer. Customers can try products, but they can't change the
- computer's setup, or delete vital files. WinU lets you set the amount of time
- that shoppers (or employees, or children) can use a program. It allows a
- "grace period," with a custom warning message that you can set, before it
- terminates a running application.
-
- WinU offers rock-solid security. With it, you can deny access to all
- non-WinU programs and files, even programs that remain running while WinU is
- active. And WinU can track exactly when each program was run, by who, and
- for how long.
-
- WinU allows you to use any Windows bitmap as its background image. Use your
- company logo, or product information, 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.
-
- It's easy to customize WinU to your needs. You can create up to 400
- password-protected desktops, each with its own name, settings, and programs.
- You can set the maximum allowed time for each program, and for the desktop
- itself. It's simple to set up. To add an application, just drag-and-drop
- any file or program from Explorer, and a WinU button appears on the desktop.
-
- WinU runs under Microsoft Windows 95. It takes up only about 300K of disk
- space, installs only into the directory you name, and won't alter any system
- files. It includes an uninstaller so you can remove it if necessary.
