Introduction

RESTrick Control Panel is a powerful tool that help you tune your Windows system and enforce security and protection for all of your files.

What is RESTrick

With the help of the RESTrick Control panel you can quickly tune your Windows system to your exact needs. RESTrick allows you to install different restrictions on your system so you can control the access to your computer.

The RESTrick Control Panel will allow you to work with user profiles. You can tune each profile separately in accordance with your own procedures and you can also setup a default user profile, the profile that will be used if the user wants to skip the login dialog (in case of Windows 9x or WinME).

The RESTrick Control panel can help you to enforce security and protection for all of your files.

You can access the RESTrick Control Panel from the Windows Control Panel.

Also, registered version will allow you to protect RESTrick with a password.

Program Requirements

Installation

Usually you received this version of Restrick in a ZIP file (for example, REST2.ZIP). You can install it as follows:

  1. First extract the files to a temporary directory. You can delete this directory when setup has completed.
  2. Select Run from the Windows Taskbar Start menu, type the full name of the temporary directory followed by a backslash and the name of the installation program SETUP.EXE (e.g., C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE) press the ENTER key, and follow the instructions displayed.
After installation the RESTrick can be started from the Start menu or from the Control Panel.

Getting started with

RESTrick Control Panel organized as the dialog with the Tabs. Switching between them realized with the left-arrow and the right-arrow buttons at the right-top corner of the tab control (Tip: you can switch by the Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab at the keyboard).

Each of the tab handles one particular side of Windows. It contains the controls and defines appropriate behavior settings in the Windows.

RESTrick works as a standard Windows application - you can select some options in the tabs but they will not be accepted until you'll have pressed "Apply" or "OK".

Tabs can open additional sub-dialogs with detailed settings, like on the picture below:

RESTrick is automatically detecting your Operation System and displays the only tabs that make sense (for example, when you're running Windows NT you'll not see the tab that defines booting in Windows 95).

To change the profile you are working with click at the left-bottom flat button. As it is shown in the picture below you'll see the menu with the list of all available profiles on this computer. The two topmost special options are:

Current - is a profile you were logged with.
Default - is the profile that is used if skipped logon dialog (Win 9x and WinME) or the profile that is the template for creating the new user (WinNT and Win2k).

Uninstallation
