HIT: Security for Windows 95

[Shelley Lochhead <s_lochhead@MENTOR.UNH.EDU>]

Behold, the hit that resulted from last week's query about desktop security
for Windows 95:

4 replies suggested Fortres for Windows 95, 1 suggested WinU, and 1
Superlock.  And 3 folks reminded us to check out the resource kit that
accompanies Windows 95 for its built-in security and screen locking
options.

I have forwarded all your excellent advice on to our computer guru, and --
as always -- I thank you!

You guys are great,

Shelley

We've been using WinU for several weeks at Iola Public with good results.
Check their web page at <http://www.bardon.com>.

Although I have not tested it yet, I believe Fortress works with
Windows 95.  There are also many security features built into Windows
95.  Have your tech check out the "Resource Kit."

Shelley,
        I spoke with Fortress Grand Corp. yesterday and they have
rewritten the entire program.  Now available for WfW 3.11 and Win '95

Shelley,

A colleague wrote a great program called SuperLock Pro and has followed it
with SuperLock Win95 that he just released.  The first was written for my
school in '94 and I use it on 250+ computers that run on our LAN.  It locks
Windows 3.1 and disables DOS so kids can't mess all that stuff up.  It has
saved my sanity! (I'm the media director and sys op.)

The new Win95 SuperLock costs $499 for a site license.  If you already have
SuperLock Pro for Windows 3.1, you can purchase the upgrade for $129.  You
can purchase a site license for both for $599.

I'll send you the literature on both programs via US mail.  I believe in it
so much that I told Joe Lyons I'd help market it for him!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Hi!

Heard an interesting thing on our computer channel the other day.  It is
possible to password protect Win 95 by choosing the option in the screensaver
menu. It pops up a screen similar to the password screen I have seen on
computers at stores that are protected from roving hackers.  Have not tried
it out yet, but plan to shortly.  Any way free is for me so ....it would be
cheaper than a software package.  I find out new things 95 does all the time.
 Similar to a gold mine?:-)

You probably have answer by now - I am late in reading my mail.  We use
Fortres with Win 95 and have had no problems.  You have to purchase an
updated version, think it was $50 or $60 from Fortres.   Gloria
