Description

Restrict access to your computer with Security Administrator for Windows.
This password-protected security utility enables you to impose a variety of
access restrictions to protect your privacy and stop others from tampering
with your desktop. You can deny access to each individual component of several
Control Panel applets, including Display, Network, Passwords, Printers, and
System. You can disable your boot keys, DOS windows, Registry editing, and
network access. Hide your desktop icons, individual drives, Start menu items,
or even the entire taskbar. You can also apply password protection to Windows
and restrict users to running specific applications only. Security restrictions
can be applied universally or just to specific users. You'll find the program
interface very easy to negotiate. Excellent online help is available.
