Guard information on your computer with WinLock
O. James Samson - October 6, 2008WinLock is a security program for personal or publicly accessible computers running all versions of Windows from 95 to Vista. WinLock ensures that only authorized people can have access to sensitive information on your computer.
This security tool allows you to put a limit on your users from accessing system resources like Control Panel, Desktop, and system registry, disable Windows hotkeys (such as Alt-Ctrl-Del, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Esc, etc.), hide the Start button and Taskbar.
WinLock allows you to control the duration of people on your computer. It runs from the system tray and requires a password for access to be granted to the available settings.
This program loads automatically with Windows and allows you to add an optional start up message, provide audio notification, and set the time limit.
WinLock does so many other things like denying unauthorized users access to selected files, applications, and Explorer windows (Recycle Bin, My Computer, etc.), usb and hard drives. It filters Internet content and prohibits access to questionable Web sites.
When this program is enabled, access is denied for unauthorised users except with the use of password.
WinLock can be controlled and configured remotely by means of WinLock Remote Administrator application. WinLock Remote Administrator is the network security solution for Windows networks. It helps quickly configure remote WinLock clients via network, lock remote workstations, and apply security profiles by means of easy-to-use interface.
Below are the functions of WinLock:
- • System restrictions – disable command prompt, Control Panel, Safe Mode, and more…
- • Time-limited access – control how long other users can use the computer
- • Restrict Start Menu – hide the selective Start menu items, block context menus
