User Control allows you to block any undesired window title or any application / EXE-file. You stipulate exactly what kinds of programs absolutely should not run on your computer (e.g. setup files for new software, peer-to-peer music exchanges, unwanted games or chat programs, etc.). User Control also offers complete web filtering: i.e. unwanted pages will be blocked for the user on the basis of keywords. In this way, you ensure that your PC users do not surf for hours on crack or pornography sites. You can even explicitly permit access to certain Internet pages and prevent access to all others.User Control is a tool that blocks undesired applications.

User management:
Determine at a glance what limits have been set for any user or user group. It’s easy: just click the last column to see which users belong to a given group.

Improved software filter:
For any application, establish whether it is always available, never available, or restricted by time. User Control shows both the application name and the name of the executable file. An application can be made available only at specified times.

Controlling window titles:
You can set restrictions not only for individual applications, but also for specified window titles. Window titles can be blocked system-wide or for individual applications.

Desktop Protection:
To prevent changes to a desktop once it has been set up, you can lock in its appearance. This means that you can stop individual icons from being moved, deleted, or renamed. You can also prevent hiding of the start menu or the taskbar.

Internet Safety:
Use filter categories, such as ”sex” or ”chat” to determine the types of web content you would like to allow or prohibit. You can also prevent downloading of .exe and .zip files.

Say yes to the web =:
Define which web pages (URLs) or keywords you dont want to see on your computer. Users who surf to one of these pages will see a warning message displayed. You can also import or export lists of restrictions.

Websites:
You could create a list of the URL’s that your users need to do their work. Once this is done, any other pages can be completely blocked. You can also make certain sites available only during restricted times (such as lunchtime).

Settings:
You can configure whether users will see warning messages, how often the log files are to be reset, or if User Control is to run in ”hidden” mode.

Protecting the start menu and desktop:
You can restrict access to a large number of Windows system settings. For example, you can prevent the display of individual items on the start menu, restrict access to Control Panel, prevent logging off or shutting down, and much more.

System Protection for Internet Explorer:
In addition to the general Internet settings, there are some special restrictions that can be set especially for Microsoft ™ Internet Explorer. You can use these to prevent downloading and block access to settings and configurations.

Network system protection:
Use this page to limit access to the principal settings for your network environment. For example, you can establish which parts of the network are visible for a particular user and which ones are not.

Log files:
Use this page to see what happened while your computer was online, and which user was logged on. The logs show you both a list of started applications and of websites that were visited. The list can be exported into formats such as Excel or text.
