Windows Security Officer enables you to protect and control access to your PC. It offers administrative support for controlling which users are allowed access to your computer and at what level. You can choose to restrict access to several Control Panel applet functions, including Display, Network, Passwords, Printer, and System. It's not all or nothing -- you can allow a user access to your wallpaper settings but not allow him to change your screen saver, for example. You can also assign separate system folders to each user, providing each with his own custom desktop. You can also disable Start menu items, hide your drives, disable the DOS prompt, hide desktop icons, and much more. You can even set an access timer and deny access to all programs on your PC except for those on a safe list of your creation. If you prefer, you can build a list a programs to deny access to. Other features include time restriction and multi-language support. The intuitive interface is easy to negotiate. Online help is included.
