WINSelect makes it easy to manage the functionality of computers in a public access, kiosk, or library environment by delivering full control over computer system settings. IT administrators are able to easily customize a computer's capabilities by restricting user access to certain applications, websites, program functions, and system settings.
WINSelect is easy to deploy and use, allowing administrators to dynamically configure systems without the hassle and complexity of Group Policies. Administrators can also selectively control third-party programs, regulate user activity, and lockdown the following Windows functions:
