WINU Menu System For Windows 95

WinU is a Windows 95 menu system with timeout and security access features.
It features three distinct levels of security control, and many flexible
configuration options.  It's easy to set up, easy to use ... and virtually
impossible to circumvent.

This makes WinU excellent for parents who want to allow children to use only
certain software on the family PC, without worrying that Junior might delete
the household tax records.  You can even set up a different password-protected
WinU desktop for each member of the family.

WinU is also ideal for computer stores that want to let the shopping public
try their featured software without allowing access to the entire computer.
WinU lets you set the amount of time that shoppers (or children) can use a
program.  It allows a warning "grace period,"  with a custom warning message
that you can set, before it terminates the program.

Businesses can use WinU to allow employees to run only authorized software,
and make all other programs unavailable.  WinU is far better for this purpose
than the meager Windows 95 facility, because it is more powerful, more flexible,
easier to set up, and simpler for end-users.

Vendors and businesses will appreciate WinU's built-in File Logging feature,
which tracks exactly when each programs was run, by who, and for how long.

And WinU allows you to use any Windows bitmap as its background image.  Use
your company logo or sales information, or just your favorite pretty picture.
You can display the image fullscreen behind the buttons, or put the image in
the top half and the menu buttons on the bottom to give an unobstructed view
of the image.



Installing WinU

To install WinU, run the program install.exe that comes with WinU.  It
will ask you the folder you would like to install into, the Start button
group name you prefer, and whether you'd like WinU to run at startup.
WinU will not install anything to any other folder, other than the one
you specify.  It will not change any system files.  If you choose to
uninstall, simply run the uninstaller program.

WinU installs the following files to the directory you choose:

winu.exe        the WinU program, file 1
winu2.exe       the WinU program, file 2
winu3.exe       the WinU program, file 3
uninwinu.exe    the WinU uninstaller
winu.hlp        the documentation, in Windows help file format
winu.cnt        another part of the Windows help file
readme.txt      overview and installation instructions

Uninstalling WinU

WinU includes an "uninstall" component.  When you install WinU, the
uninstaller is added to WinU's icons on the Start menu as well as to the
usual "Add/Remove Programs" list.  To uninstall, run the uninstaller.


How To Order WinU

Thank you for trying WinU.  You are welcome to test the fully-functional
evaluation version for 30 days.  That is, you can run the program on 30
different dates.  These dates do not have to be consecutive calendar days.
If you don't run WinU on a particular date, it doesn't count against your
30 days.  This gives you plenty of time to try it under actual working
conditions on your own system, to see if it meets your needs.  After the
trial period, you must either purchase WinU or remove it from your system.

Volume 1: "He Who Laughs, Lasts!" Reverend Lowell's Treasury contains
thousands of humorous anecdotes collected by Reverend Lowell during his
long career as an ordained minister.  After thirty years of public
speaking from the pulpit, the podium, and on television, he has amassed
over 200,000 items, and Reverend Lowell's Treasury represents the "cream
of the crop." These are Reverend Lowell's favorite funny stories,
revealing quotes, interesting anecdotes, and zingy one-liners.  And
there's nothing that would be unsuitable in any public setting.  There are
plenty of items to choose from.  Each volume of the Treasury covers a
different topic, and contains at least as many items as you'd find in a
full-size book.  Many are illustrated in color or black-and-white.  You
can search for any item by keyword or first line.  Or simply browse
through every item page by page.
