What is it
Security SetUp is a 'security shell' for Windows 9x / ME and partially Windows NT.  The software will allow you to edit the security settings build into Windows by Microsoft.

Security settings can also be accessed via PolEdit.exe (a fairly complex and complicated utility supplied free by Microsoft). The goal of Security SetUp is to make this task simple, fast and uncomplicated.  Security SetUp is very intuitive and comes with easy to use build in help.



Who is the target group
Security SetUp is useful to a wide range of people;
  • Households with children
  • System administrators
  • Schools
  • Internet cafe's

Registered users range from private homes, schools, internet cafes, law enforcement agencies to printer manufacturers.

If kids, users etc. constantly change the settings of the PC's you carefully setup thus causing you a tremendous time waste, you will find this tool very useful.  The software can be used by both experienced system administrators and concerned parents, its very easy to use and contain a comprehensive online helpfile (I do   however advice some basic experience with windows).

 

What can it do
By using Security SetUp you will be able to:
  • Disable changes of Printer settings
  • Disable changes of Network settings
  • Disable changes of the desktop (resolution, colors)
  • Disable AutoRun (CD-ROM)
  • Specify what program-files that can be executed
  • Hide items in the Control panel
  • Disable the Control panel
  • Activate / deactivate special items in the start-menu
  • Etc Etc. all in all more than 50 security functions.

Security SetUp will not:

  • Password protect Windows
  • Encrypt data / folders
  • Prevent users from deleting files

Please note that Security SetUp is not designed for use in environments that use Policies.  Administrators might however still find it useful, but it will not replace PolEdit in such environments.

Security SetUp will allow you to decide what the user will be able to change (within the limits of the program of cause), E.g. when a PC is set up properly there is no reason for anyone to make changes to the hardware profile thus this can be disabled.

 

How much does it cost
Security SetUp II -Light is shareware, thus you can use it for 20 days free of charge.  If you find it useful and choose to use it beyond 20 days, you are required to buy a licence.
