This security tool allows you to restrict your users from accessing important system resources like the control panel, the desktop, screensavers and the registry.

Hide entries in the Start menu, restrict downloads in Internet-Explorer and many others. Select also, which programs each user is able to run and which programs are restricted. Restrictions can even be set for each individual user or group (Win NT/2000/XP only). Set also a fixed wallpaper and avoid unwanted desktop wallpapers in future!
A very useful tool for all administrators/parents and teachers, who are fed up of setting up the system over and over again.

With Win Control, you can not only define the access rights that each of your users should have, you can also prevent unauthorized manipulation of the Windows desktop. You can even define each user’s access to system functionality. Finally, put an end to deleted or moved links, unlicensed copies of programs, unauthorized screensavers and just about any other example of unauthorized customization of a Windows 2000/NT/XP system a user might think of.
