How one control the computer’s usage? Yes, this question is too wide. How can one control the public computer’s usage? If the number of users is limited, the admin can create an account for each user and control them. However, this approach hides some problems: Sometimes there are no permanent users, only the «accidental» ones; sometimes the Windows’ built-in user restrictions are insufficient; sometimes there is a need to control not only the access rights, but also the time the computer has been used for. All of these problems can be solved with the specialized software. But what if you (the administrator) need to control just a couple of public computers? Would you need to edit settings on each workplace individually? Is that the most rational way of doing the job?

Answer is: There is a clever way of controlling a couple of public computers, and this way’s name is WinLock Remote Administrator. It works as follows: you install WinLock (or WinLock Professional) on every computer to be controlled, then install WinLock Remote Administrator on the admin’s computer. You can now change settings for each WinLock copy remotely: disable or enable system-wide hotkeys and Windows features (for example, the Start menu items), restrict access to particular files, folders and applications, set time limits and so on. You can even enforce some Internet restrictions on the machines controlled with WinLock Professional. And all of these restrictions, settings, and parameters can be easily and totally controlled from a single administrator’s machine. No problems!

The Crystal Office Systems-developed applications WinLock and WinLock Professional are two properly good applications that perform a specific task: computer access management. Use any of these two applications (the Professional version has more features, and to my mind, more is better) and you will be able to restrict access to certain Windows functions (like the Control Panel), you can restrict access to certain files and applications, and you can restrict access to certain websites. You can even specify how much time a user can spend in front of the computer.

There’s no doubt that WinLock and WinLock Professional are great. So where does WinLock Remote Administrator fit into this picture. What can it do?

WinLock Remote Administrator can perform a simple task: it allows you to control and configure WinLock or WinLock Professional remotely. You don’t have to be in front of the computer to configure WinLock or WinLock Professional; you can do this over the network, from a remote location, by simply using WinLock Remote Administrator.

Using WinLock is a simple process – the application comes with an easy to navigate interface that makes it quite easy to use all of WinLock’s functions. Since WinLock Remote Administrator was developed by the same people that came up with WinLock, WinLock Remote Administrator is also quite easy to use.

WinLock Remote Administrator is a great tool for the admin who needs to remotely control and configure WinLock or WinLock Professional.
