What is Windows Security Officer 98 ?
Windows security officer is an autonomous provider of log-on and resource
restriction security integrated with, yet independent of, the Windows 95/98
operating system. It has the capability of providing extremely strong, secure
control of who can access the personal computer resources; and exactly what and when they
can do while they have access to those computer resources. If a users time limit has
been set and it has been reached, the computer shuts itself off and that user can not
log-on again until their prescribed time range arrives.
Windows security officer enables you to protect and totally control
access to your personal computer. It offers administrative support for controlling which
users are allowed to access your computer and the level of access each user may have. You
can choose to restrict access to several Control panel applet
functions, including Display, Network, Passwords, Printer,
and System. It's not all or nothing -- for example: you can allow a
particular user access to your wallpaper settings but not allow them to change your
screen saver. You can also assign separate system profile folders to each user,
providing each with their own custom desktop. You can additionally: disable Start
menu items, hide your drives, disable the DOS prompt, hide desktop icons,
and much more. You can even set an access timer (when and how long access will be allowed)
and allow access only to programs on your personal computer you place on a restriction
list. You can designate an access time period for each user.
Also you have got an ability to prevent creating some windows on the user's desktop. For example , the explorer (Windows' shell) has a lot useful features for you but dangerous for your system if somebody has unwanted access to your computer. You can prohibit creating of the window "Settings: Date/Time" (or any onother window) and nobody can change the system time , etc.
