WinShield Network 3.0 offers support for Novell NetWare and
Microsoft(tm) NT Server networks and for Windows 95 and NT workstations.
It is installed and administered centrally from any Windows 95 or
Windows NT network workstation.
With WinShield for Networks, education administrators can assign
different security levels, called profiles, to students, teachers and
administrators alike, providing unlimited flexibility in defining the
school system's security policy. WinShield for Networks applies the
appropriate user security to any network computer the user logs on to.
The installation and configuration of WinShield across your network
workstations is made easier using Citadel's centralized administrator
program. WinShield for Networks prevents changes to system settings such
as desktop appearance, Control Panels utilities, hardware drivers,
addition and deletion of printers, registry editing tools, performance
settings, etc. These tools provide the best combination of features to
help reduce the number of problems that generate the majority of
technical support and repair calls. Administrators can configure which
applications users can access by shielding specific desktop program
icons, ''Start Menu'' shortcuts, access to the DOS prompt or DOS
applications and access to the ''Find'' command providing an additional
level of security and simplifying the users desktop. To prevent the
installation of unauthorized software, the administrator can restrict
the use of the ''Run'' command, and access to the floppy drive, CD ROM,
and the Internet.
WinShield and FolderBolt support Windows '95 and Windows NT. Windows '95
and NT are registered trademarks of Microsoft.
