Using Security Settings

SentryPC has an extensive set of Security Restrictions that can control user access to your computer.  These settings are accessible by clicking on 'Configure Security Settings' within the Admin Control Panel.

How it works

SentryPC uses some of its own security restriction techniques, as well as built-in Windows security settings to take access control to the next level for users of your computer.  SentryPC can severely restrict what users have access to on your computer (i.e.: disabling the Windows desktop completely), or it can simply disable the Windows Task Manager and Control Panels.

Configuring Security Settings

To enable Security Settings check the checkbox next to every security setting that you wish to enforce for that user.  Each restriction is described below :

Disable Windows Desktop

This will disable the Windows Desktop.

Disable Start Menu Button

Disable Windows Shutdown *

This will disable the user's ability to shutdown the computer.

Disable Windows Run *
