WinLock 5.12

The Crystal Office Systems developed application WinLock is a security tool that you can use to ensure that users have access only to certain Windows features. By using WinLock you can for example prevent the user from accessing the Windows registry, from accessing the Control Panel, from using Windows hotkeys, and even from accessing the Start menu or context menus.

If your child uses your computer and you’re worried that he spends too much time in front of the monitor, WinLock has got your back. With WinLock you can control how long your child can spend on the computer. You can let the child use the computer only for a limited amount of time and its all thanks to WinLock.

While the child uses the computer, he may try to access websites that are not exactly appropriate for his age. Once again, WinLock has your back. The application can restrict access to the internet. Unless the site your child wants to visit is in the trusted sites list, WinLock will not let the child access it. This is to say that WinLock will allow access only to trusted sites, and block access to all other sites.

Your child may attempt to launch an application that you would rather he not mess with. Once again, WinLock is there to help you out. It can block access to downloaders, games, messaging clients, or any other application.

If the child can’t see something, he won’t be tempted to access it. WinLock can hide the Start button, the taskbar, drives, and network drives.

You need not be worried that using all the functionality WinLock provides is something quite difficult. WinLock comes with an easy to navigate interface that allows any user, novice or pro, to easily access the program’s functions.

WinLock is a powerful, easy to use application that can help you manage computer access. It has a good looking, easy to navigate interface, and a long list of useful functions.
