Disable Right-click on Desktop prevents the user from right-clicking on the desktop. Tey will not be able to access the right-click menu and commands such as New and Properties. Disable Right-click on Desktop icons prevents the user from right-clicking on desktop icons. Tey will not be able to access commands such as Open. Te user will also not be able to delete shortcuts or rename them. Te two radio buttons Hide all icons and Hide selected icons dictate the desktop icons that can be hidden. WINSelect recognizes the desktop icons on the workstation and lists them. Hide selected by selecting the Hide selected Icons radio button and selecting the check box for each icon to be hidden. If Kiosk mode is enabled, changes to this node are not possible. Disabling right-click in the System node also disables the two Disable Right-click options in the Desktop & Windows Taskbar node. Drives and File Extensions Te Drives and File Extensions node provides options for restricting access to drives and specifed fle extensions for each application installed on the workstation. Choose the available drives and fle extensions to be disabled by selecting the check box next to each one. Use the Select All or Deselect All options if required. Files and directory structures are not visible once this feature is enabled. For example, if all drives are selected, exploring the directories contained within is not permitted. If there is no drive selected but a fle extension is selected, then the fle extension will be disabled across all drives. If the system drive is disabled, access to the user’s directory is not disabled by default. Select Disable access to user’s directory to prevent access. For example, if C: is listed as the system drive, selecting the check box next to C: makes the Disable access to user’s directory check box available. Te administrator can now choose to restrict the user to access the directory C:\Documents and Settings\User folder by selecting the check box. Te user will be able to access only the Desktop. Tis option is only made available when the system drive letter check box is selected. Clear the check box to allow users to save and create fles within their own directory. To prevent access to removable drives, select the check box for removable drives. Tis feature prevents the user from seeing any removable drives connected. To disable fle extensions from being used, select the desired extension. To add another fle extension to the list, enter the extension in the feld provided and click Add Extension. 18
Once enabled, this feature prevents access to or creation of fles with the specifed extension. If a removable drive is connected during the WINSelect installation and confguration, it is assigned a drive letter. It is recommended that removable drives be disconnected during installation and confguration to avoid inadvertently applying WINSelect settings to the removable drive. Start Menu Te Start Menu node provides options for restricting access to the workstation Start menu. Customize access to the Start menu by selecting one or more options. Enable Start button, when selected, allows the user access to the workstation’s Start button. Disable all Start menu items prevents the user from accessing the Start menu. Disable selected Start menu items by selecting the specifc items in the list. Te selected options will not be available the next time the Start menu is opened. Selecting the Disable right-click on Start Menu items option prevents a user from accessing the secondary menu. Selecting the Enable classic style Start Menu option enables the classic style Start menu with the look and feature-limited behavior of the Windows 2000 Start menu. Start Menu node in Windows 8 On Windows 8 workstations, when WINSelect is launched directly on the workstation, only Log Of, Run, Shut Down and Control Panel, Printers and Network Connections will be displayed. When WINSelect is launched via Faronics Core Console by selecting a Windows 8 workstation, the above three options are displayed. Other options are marked (Unavailable for Windows 8). Each Start menu option is automatically disabled while Kiosk mode is enabled. 19
