What is Full Control?
Full Control is a complete Windows 95 security access control system, including software access management, time limits, logging, web-browser tracking, remote administration, and many flexible configuration options. It provides reliable access control, even in Safe Mode, while still allowing use of the regular Windows 95 desktop. Each user can have individual security and oversight settings. These include desktop appearance, password-protected programs, time limits, and many other per-user options and restrictions. The administrator can set the maximum allowed time for each program, and for the individual user. Full Control computers can be managed and controlled remotely across a network, or Full Control can run on stand-alone machines.

What kinds of protection does Full Control provide?
Full Control allows users access to authorised software yet prevents accidental or malicious system modifications. It lets the administrator specify the amount of time that each program can be used - even communications programs for the Internet or on-line services - while allowing a warning "grace period," with customable length and warning message, before terminating a running application. Full Control can monitor all World Wide Web activity through Netscape or Microsoft browser, logging all accessed websites and the amount of time at each site. It can make files or folders read-only or invisible to prevent access to unauthorised data. It can monitor and control any window, such as File Open and Save As dialogs, with which the user might access the file system. Full Control can monitor changes to important system files, and "roll back" to any previous configuration. In addition, Full Control can deny or password-protect Ctrl+AIt+Del, the Delete key and right-mouse context menus in Explorer and World Wide Web browsers, and the Windows and Apps keys found on newer keyboards. Full Control can disable the keyboard at stratum to prevent users from bypassing Windows 95, and it can lock the CD-ROM drive door to prevent the removal of valuable CDs.

What sort of organisations can benefit from Full Control?
Full Control is useful for businesses that want to let employees use only authorised applications, for schools and public institutions that need to give patrons access to specific programs yet safeguard the computer against tampering, and for parents who want to restrict their children's usage of the family PC. The user has full access to authorised software, but can't change the computer's setup or delete important files. Full Control is easy to set up, and it prevents users from modifyin0 the computer's configuration. These qualities make it especially useful for small to medium sized organisations that would rather not hire a full-time technical administrator to maintain the system and fix problems caused by unauthorized user modifications. However, Full Control can be considered in any situation in which users need access to software without the option of reconfigurin9 the computer.

Does Full Control include network-based remote administration?
Yes. Though a network is not required, Full Control will take full advantage of a network if one is present. Full Controls system administration capabilities can maintain any size setup, from a single home PC to multi-computer networked installations. The administrator can dynamically control all access enterprise-wide from one central location. This includes the ability to query the status of any Full Control stations on the network; update, logoff, shut down, reboot or reconfigure Full Control stations remotely; send popup text messages to individual Full Control stations or broadcast them to all Full Control computers on the network. Full Control also includes network-based license metering

Any Full Control computer can be remotely and dynamically reconfigured. The administrator need only create one master setup (which can include per-computer customisations if desired) then distribute it over the network. Full Control does not require a dedicated "manager" program running on a server. The site administrator can use Full Controls "Remote Administration Manager" to control the situation from anywhere on the network, but this program does not have to be constantly running; it is used only when needed to send control messages to computers on the network.

Can Full Control monitor system configuration changes?
Yes. Full Control includes full checkpoint and rollback capabilities. It can track changes to the Registry, system files, applications, or any other files. This allows you to "roll back" your system configuration when flawed applications, incomplete uninstallers, or malicious users make a mess of the computer. Configuration checkpoints are saved automatically on a schedule, and can be restored even if Windows won't run.
