WINSelect makes it easy to manage the functionality of computers in a public access, kiosk, or library environment by delivering full control over computer system settings. IT administrators are able to easily customize a computer's capabilities by restricting user access to certain applications, websites, program functions, and system settings. |
WINSelect is easy to deploy and use, allowing administrators to dynamically configure systems without the hassle and complexity of Group Policies. Administrators can also selectively control third-party programs, regulate user activity, and lockdown the following Windows functions: |
