Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit - 1.1

Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP - Powerful new software tools for shared computers in classrooms, school computer labs, libraries, and public places. The Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP helps make it easy for anyone to set up, safeguard and manage reliable shared computers.

The Toolkit includes several command-line tools and the following graphical tools:

• Getting Started. Provides access to computer settings and utilities and helps first-time operators learn the Toolkit basics quickly.
• Windows Disk Protection. Protects the Windows partition (typically drive C) that contains the Windows operating system and other programs from being modified without administrator approval. Disk changes made are cleared with each restart unless the administrator chooses to save them.
• Windows Restrictions. Restricts user access to programs, settings, and Start menu items. The tool also allows you to lock shared local user profiles to prevent permanent changes. (This tool is specifically for use in workgroup environments that do not use Active Directory and Group Policy.)
• User Profiles. Creates and deletes user profiles. You can use this tool to create user profiles on alternative drives that will retain data and settings even though Windows Disk Protection is on. You can also use the tool to completely delete profiles that have been locked by the Windows Restrictions tool.
• Accessibility. Makes Windows accessibility options and utilities such as StickyKeys, FilterKeys, and Magnifier available to users who have been restricted from accessing Control Panel and other system settings.
