使用窗口穩定處理和鎖在用戶帳號下為共有的通入計算機

張貼在2007年7月20日在10:36上午

窗口穩定 是對允許非它專家迅速和容易地保護和鞏固共有的計算機的Windows XP的新和免費軟件申請。 這個節目基本上是小組政策管理控制臺的一個被剝離的下來易使用的版本在窗口服務器2003年。 現在您也許想知道為什麼我書寫對此在應該是為「平民」!的blog ？ 很好，它是，因為這個節目沒有意味為它讚成，它為需要控制幾臺共有的計算機，例如在圖書館，互聯網咖啡館，學校，或者在您的家的普通人民意味。

節目是非常小的(仅4MB)，但它有很多特點，并且它是非常簡單的設定。 這是一個了不起的節目為有許多孩子的人，并且只有得到由大家使用為互聯網、音樂、電影、比賽、工作等等的一個惡劣的桌面。 最終計算機得到病毒或spyware胡扯裝載然後它讚成必須叫(像我)，然後充電您消除整體系統和再安裝它的$100新鮮! 如果您已經是狀態，這不會幫助您!

否則，您能設定您新的新鮮地配置的桌面與窗口穩定和做以下事： 放置限制在帳戶由帳戶依據(這些包括對窗口設置的制約的通入，控制網絡進入、保護的文件和文件夾從訪問和去除項目從窗口接口)，預定軟件更新，并且使用窗口盤保護防止對操作系統的所有變動。

一旦安裝節目，您將得到通過所有設置將走您您能配置的幫助指南。 這什麼節目的主要屏幕看似：

點擊 設置計算機制約 不管用戶帳號，將給予您選擇為将被安置為整個計算機的制約。 日程表軟件更新 基本上是自動更新控制臺從控制板： 您能預定時期為安全節目您將想要更新的更新並且選擇，如果安排抗病毒安裝您。

主要特點，然而，是您能做以用戶帳號的事。 首先，您會想點擊 增加一名新的用戶 創造一個新的共有的用戶概況。 為 用戶地點除非您有窗口盤保護，選擇C驅動。 我將解釋為什麼以後。 即然您有一名新的用戶，您在用戶設置箱子能點擊他們的名字和配置所有制約! 并且很多他們!

The General Settings allow you to lock the profile, so that if the user makes changes to the desktop, start menu, etc, those changes will not be saved once the user logs off. You can also set a timer for an idle or in-use session, so that the computer will log off after a specified number of minutes.

 But it only gets fun once you get to Windows Restrictions! Here you can either choose a template setting of High, Medium, Low or No restrictions or you can manually check and uncheck the features you desire. They are broken down into Start Menu and General Restrictions. I would suggest just picking one of the templates and seeing how it works on your own. You can also hide certain drives from the user also!

Next up are the Feature restrictions, which include Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office. Here is where you can block all sites on the Internet, except the few that you want your child to view. Again, you can choose a template from the left side. If you’re not sure what these options mean, go ahead and set them and then use the account yourself to test whether it stops you from doing something you would want that user to be able to do.

 And lastly, you can block programs that you don’t want that user to be able to run. The nice thing is that you get a list of every program installed on your computer on the left and you simply have to choose it and add it to the box on the right to block it! So if you don’t want someone to run Yahoo Messenger or open up TurboTax and view your tax info, add it to the right!

Also, I forgot to mention what Windows Disk Protection does! If you turn that on, it will basically protect your Windows systems files from being changed. That means, let’s say you turn it on and install 10 programs, then once you restart the computer, the computer will revert back to the state it was in when you first turned the protection on, which means all those programs are gone. This is only useful if you want to protect a computer from viruses and spyware or you do not want anything changed after a certain configuration (useful for libraries or schools).

So that’s Windows SteadyState! A free and very cool program that you can use to help prevent your computer from becoming a piece of junk!  I can attest that placing restrictions on computers is the BEST way to avoid spyware, viruses or just a slow computer. It’s used in just about every office of large organizations, but has always been too complicated to use for regular folks at smaller places.

Try it out!

    Hello,

    Quote: ‘First, you would want to click Add a New User to create a new shared user profile. For the User Location, choose the C drive unless you have Windows Disk Protection on. I’ll explain why later.’

    Im sorry if this seems like a silly question, but if i do want the Protection on, where do i save the new user profile to?

    Thanks,

    Ryan

    Hi Ryan, good question, it’s not silly at all. If you have the Disk Protection feature on, this means that Windows will not allow any changes to the system files on the C drive, so you should create the new user profiles on a separate partition, such as D, E, etc.

    Now if you only have one local drive, C, that’s also ok, simply create a new folder at the root of your C drive called Users or something similar and create the accounts there.

    Let me know if this makes sense. Thanks.
