Cetus WinGuard Review

The following review was provided by "Mobile Office" Magazine:
"Other than using the Windows screen saver to restrict access to Windows completely, the big security issues for Windows users are freezing your desktop configuration and restricting access to specific program groups. WinGuard from Cetus Software can take care of both problems."
"I like WinGuard's screen layout. The toolbar at the top of the screen is convenient for quick access to system features. When you move the pointer over the buttons, you get help at the bottom of the screen. The help file is quite professional and complete."
"WinGuard provides seven levels of protection. At the lowest, no rearrangement of the Program Manager will be saved. At increasingly higher levels, users can't change program groups, program items, command lines, or item properties. At the highest two security levels, users can't start a program with the Run line, and the File menu is removed entirely from Program Manager."
"You can't hide specific icons (except for parts of the Control Panel), but you can hide program groups. You can use this feature along with the protection levels to lock Windows up pretty tightly. For example, you can use WinGuard to lock out the File Run menu and then lock out access to the DOS and File Manager icons by hiding the Main program group. Guest users won't be able to run any program they can't see an icon for."
"You need to restart Windows to enable the changes you've made. Making subsequent changes isn't difficult: run WinGuard again, give it your password, and blaze away. (The default password is "shield" but you should change this to something else.)"
