have a minimum length. Programs that should be executed at the system start
can also be set.
The following shows in single steps how the system guidelines can be
established and activated and which restrictions offer security for a nonnetworked
Windows 95 computer.
1. Establishing a system guideline file
With the help of the system guideline editor a system guideline file can be
created. Any name is possible. However, for reasons of simplicity, the name
CONFIG.POL will be selected here. The program POLEDIT.EXE should then
be started, a new file created and saved under the name CONFIG.POL. This
file automatically contains entries for the standard user and the standard
computer which, if applicable, must be restricted in the next step. Entries for
computer and user must also be established for the administrator ( in the menu
point EDIT with ADD USER and ADD COMPUTER). The setting must be
specified in the third step.
2. Defining a guideline for a standard user and a standard computer
By opening settings for the standard user with the system guideline editor, the
appropriate relevant security entries can be made via the menu.
