Ways of protecting your data

prevent all access to the files (No Access), allow only Read Only access or just trace specific files that were accessed (Just Log).

When you check in using the Administrator password by checking the “modify settings” check box you are able to define users and their promotions.

•	When you check in as an Administrator you DO NOT HAVE ANY RESTRICTIONS.

•	When you FAILED to check in, or checked in as a Guest the restrictions that are specified under the Guest user apply to you.

•	If you define any other user, when that user checks in, he will be restricted by the restrictions that were specified to that specific user  in the administrator configuration screen.

•	Hide

The files or folders that match the name expression, are invisible for anyone who doesn’t know the right password.

For the users that HIDE files or folders were specified in their restrictions,  these files and folders are completely invisible, they do not show up in any files and folders listings in any program and not even in a DOS box.

Since programs can not see them, they can not run, delete, rename or modify them.

•	No Access

Installation

In order to install Win-Secure-It ® all you need to do is run the SETUP.EXE program from the installation diskette.

After the installation completes you will be asked to restart your computer, and then you will be asked for your default password, that’s all.

Starting now, when you logon to your computer you will be prompt with a dialog asking you what is your password, type it in and that’s all.

The password that you have supplied becomes the administrator password, You can use the administrator account to create/delete and duplicate users and modify their security restrictions.

If you had Win-Secure-It already running on your machine, the installation utility will remove the entries in the registry which activate Win-Secure-It upon windows startup, and reboot the machine, you will have to run the installation utility again since Win-Secure-It can not be installed while a previous version of the product is currently running on the machine.


First time you run the program

After the installation completes you will be asked to restart your computer, and then you will be asked for your personal password, that’s all.

Starting now,  when you logon to your computer you will be prompt with a dialog asking you what is your password,  type it in and that all.

You must re-type in your new password so your computer will be secured.

The password that you have supplied becomes the administrator password, You can use the administrator account to create/delete and duplicate users and modify their security restrictions.


Setting up your personal password

You should type your new personal password twice in this dialog box.

After entering the new password, in each new Logon to your system you should enter this password.

Setting up your personal password is an important step towards protecting your data. You are asked to enter the password twice in order to assure that no mistakes will be done.

The password is case sensitive the passwords “eXpert” and “expert” are two different passwords.

Please try to choose a password that you will remember. We suggest that you will also write the password in a safe place in case you may forget it.

Please try to choose a password which will not be obvious like your first or last name.

You will be able to change your password anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog.


Setting up other security restrictions

By choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog and entering the correct password you will be able to modify your current security settings, If you check in using the Administrator user, you will be able to control security settings, the way notification are made, the items to be protected and passwords for all the users and even add new users, if you checked in as any other user then you will be able to modify only this specific users password.

IMPORTENT:  When Win-Secure-It is activated after boot, it starts in a mode where the Guest user is the current user, So each restriction or setting that you wish to set and will be applied immediately when Win-Secure-It starts (Like the Stealth mode option) should be specified for the Guest user by checking in as the Administrator user.


What is a Security Alert

A Security Alert is an event that occur in your system when a security violation happens.

A security violation happens when a file or other resource that you have defined as protected is being accessed by a user which does not have the permissions to use the resource.

For example if you define that only "Read Only" access is allowed to *.doc files and someone tries to modify or delete one of your .doc files this is a security violation and Win-Secure-It ® will prevent it from succeeding and will also write down a notification in the audit trace log file, for that event.


General

Protecting your data does not mean you do not trust the other parties that are using your computer, it is just for protecting you and your data.

It is very important to protect it in order to avoid potential problems and sorrows.

You will be able to change your settings anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog.


Security Items

Security items are the items that you can protect using the Win-Secure-It ® product, These are the items which controls how the security system works, how invisible the product and other items embedded in it are.

You will be able to change your settings anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog when you logon using the Administrator user.

In order to logon to the system without having any restrictions you should logon as the Administrator user and supply the correct logon password.

Any successful logon to any other users beside the Administrator using  the correct password, will create a situation where the restrictions that the administrator specified for that user will be applied.

Any logon attempt done without supplying the correct password, will be reported and the Guest   user security restrictions will be applied for that user working session.

Diffrence between the Reg. ver and the unReg. one
Diffrence between the Registered version and the UnRegistered one

The software that we bring to you is not crippled !!!

You can test the product as it will look like, after you register. However, as the registration fee is our bread of life, there are some reminders, that this is a shareware product, and that if you want to keep using it, you have to pay the registration fee. As soon as you register, all the reminders will disappear.

After 30 days, message

This is not free software.  This license allows you to use the software for evaluation purposes without charge for a period of 30 days.

After 30 days are over, a message will appear to remind you that the evaluation period is over, and you have to pay the registration fee, you will still be able to use the product without any new limitation.

Limit to 5 files restrictions in each category

You can use 5 path expression with wildcard as security target in each category. When you register the software , you will no longer have this limitation.


Possible problems
Possible Problems, Solutions and Frequently asked questions

The Win-Secure-It® application name doesn’t appear in the pop-up  menu at the bottom of the screen.

This is for security purpose, the application is running at the background “Silently”.

At the Password pop-up screen you can click the CANCEL button without typing the password, and the pop-up window disappears and let you continue (without requesting the password)

If you have entered Path expression target for protection, with no password, you can still do everything, as long as you don’t try to touch those files.

If you didn’t enter a password your access to those files will be denied. If you did enter the correct password, the road is clear, you can continue your work as usual.

I can't figure a way to limit access to "My Computer".  This allows users to directly access files without being denied access.

Actually everything reside on the hard disk and can be describes as a filename restriction with a drive, if you do not know the path then go to our WWW page and download the Win-eXpose-I/O

shareware it will show you exactly which files are being accessed and the file and path name, put this in your restriction list, another way is put a just log restriction on everything try to access

what you would like to restrict and then see in the event log which file is it ?

our home page is at : http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dascalu

Running some programs in the background along with Win-Secure-It confuses the other programs since they can not access my protected files, how can this be solved.

You can add these programs to the list of Safe Programs, by doing so these programs that you trust (like Anti Virus products or disk de fragmentation utilities) will not be effected by the Win-Secure-It programs and Win-Secure-It will not deny access requests to protected files if the application which requested the access is in the safe programs list.

In order to find out what name to put in the safe programs list just look at the audit log and see the name of the program which asked for this specific file access.

How do you restrict access for opening a DOS box

just put the restriction on *.pif files

What is a path expression with wildcard

A path is a more direct way to describe where a file, such as a document or program,  is located on your computer or network. A path includes the drive, folders, and sub folders that contain a file, in addition to the file's name. Generally, a filename ends with a 3-letter "extension" that indicates what type of file it is.

For example, a filename ending in “.exe” is a program, and a filename ending in “.txt” is a text file.

A path expression with wildcard is a pattern for making string comparisons, with the path to the files on your disk.

Each file that its path+name match the wildcard expression, will get the security check.

If the path expression that you entered does not include a directory, it will match files in ANY directory.

   The following table shows the wildcard characters you can use .

Character(s) in pattern Matches in expression

?	Any single character

*	Zero or more characters

To specify a path

•	Type the drive letter, followed by a colon (:) and backslash (\).

 If you do not specify a drive letter the path expression will apply to all drives, for example if you want to limit access to the private.doc file in the documents directory on drive C you can specify as a path expression  “c:\documents\private.doc” specifying just “\documents\private.doc” means     limiting the access also to the same file on the same directory on the other disks that are defined on your machine.

•	Type the names of the folders and sub folders that contain the file.

A backslash should precede each folder or sub folder name.

If you do not specify a folder (directory name) the path expression will apply to all folders, for example if you want to limit access to the private.doc file in the documents directory you can specify as a path expression “\documents\private.doc” specifying just “private.doc” means limiting the access also to the same file on all the other folders which exist on your machine.

•	Type  the name of the file. A backslash should precede the filename.

You can specify a wildcard expression as the file name, for example if you would like to limit access to all the documents files in the documents directory on drive C you can specify as a path expression “c:\documents\*.doc”

If a path expression has as a suffix /S it means that this path expression applies also to all the sub-directories (folders).

For example c:\MyDocs\*.doc  means protect all the document files in the c:\MyDocs folder

BUT the path expression c:\MyDocs\*.doc /S means protect all the document files in the

c:\MyDocs directory but also in all of it’s sub directories (folders)

If a path expression has as a prefix “Exclude: “ it means that this path expression specify an exclusion to the other expressions in the same category.

For example Exclude: c:\MyDocs\a*.doc  means exclude all the document files in the c:\MyDocs folder which starts with the letter “a” from the general protection restriction specified before, This option can also be combined with the “/S” option.


Displaying or Hiding Alert notification messages

A pop-up dialog with alert notification can be displayed, every time the security is violated, letting the current user know that he is violating the security.

If you choose to hide this message, the access still will be denied, but no message will appear.

You can also use the Stealth mode in order to hide Win-Secure-It existence.

IMPORTENT:  When Win-Secure-It is activated after boot, it starts in a mode where the Guest user is the current user, So each restriction or setting that you wish to set and will be applied immediately when Win-Secure-It starts (Like the Stealth mode option) should be specified for the Guest user.

You will be able to change your settings anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog and logon using the administrator user.


Playing tone on alert messages

A tone will be played with alert notification,  every time the security is violated, letting the current user know that he is violating the security.

If you choose to silent this tone, the access still will be denied, but no tone will sound.

IMPORTENT:  When Win-Secure-It is activated after boot, it starts in a mode where the Guest user is the current user, So each restriction or setting that you wish to set and will be applied immediately when Win-Secure-It starts (Like the Stealth mode option) should be specified for the Guest user.

You will be able to change your settings anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog and logon using the administrator user.


Logging access to specific files

You can choose to trace access to specific files, without denying the access itself.

This is a very good option when you want to spy out what people are doing with your computer while you are away.

IMPORTENT:  When Win-Secure-It is activated after boot, it starts in a mode where the Guest user is the current user, So each restriction or setting that you wish to set and will be applied immediately when Win-Secure-It starts (Like the Stealth mode option) should be specified for the Guest user.

You will be able to change your settings anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog and logon using the administrator user.


Configuring the security time-out

You can choose to configure a security time-out which means that you will be required for re-entering your password every 6 hours in order to continue gaining access to the files you have limited access too, this is useful when you leave your computer running overnight at your office or home.

IMPORTENT:  When Win-Secure-It is activated after boot, it starts in a mode where the Guest user is the current user, So each restriction or setting that you wish to set and will be applied immediately when Win-Secure-It starts (Like the Stealth mode option) should be specified for the Guest user.

You will be able to change your settings anytime you want to in the future, you can do so by choosing the "modify settings" option in the Logon password dialog and logon using the administrator user.


Browsing the security alerts, access log information

When you log into the system using the Administrator user, after entering the correct password, if there were any security violations a summery of them will be displayed and you will be able to examine them.


Task Name

A task name is a unique name which an application is using to identify itself, it is a name with up to 8 characters, the task name is case insensitive.

If you have a program which you do not know it’s task name then simple look at the audit trail of

it’s files access attempts and see then task name there.

Each file that its name match the wildcard expression, will get the security check.

  The following table shows the wildcard characters you can use .

Character(s) in pattern Matches in expression

?	Any single character

*	Zero or more characters

To specify a name

•	Type  the name of the file or folder.
