Windows Enforcer, Version 6.1, 2001
Windows Enforcer protects systems that are accessible to many people
and require a consistent configuration and a consistent, limited selection
of services such as public displays or computer labs. It is also great for
limiting users to the webpages you approve such as on a VPN or for
childproofing individual systems. It is easy to configure and
requires little to no modifications to your current system configuration.
Windows 95/98/Me or NT/2000 required.
Enforcer is being used successfully by school systems and corporations,
big and small, around the world to effectivily protect their investment
and keep their support costs low.
System Requirements: Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT/2000.
Previously Registered users
*** NOTE: *** If you are upgrading from a previous version of Enforcer, you will
need a new registration number. This means that installing the new version
over the old version will result in the software running in it's unregistered
state until you enter the new registration number.
We recommend that registered users obtain their new registration number before
installing the latest version. To get your new registration number, simply
email Posum at support@posum.com and send us the following information.
Full name:
Postal address:
Registration number for previous version:
Once we verify your registration for the previous version,
we will email you a new registration number for version 6.1.
*** NOTE: *** If you used Enforcer 6.0 to restrict website access, you may
notice different behavior from version 6.1. The ability to partial match
tasks for exceptions to a must never run task (Example #3 and #4 in the Task
Definition Utility helpfile) was added in 6.1 as the default. If you
experience any difference in the behavior from 6.0 to 6.1, you can either
modify your task lists to take advantage of this new feature (recommended) or
you can run enfrun.exe with the -m command line option to get the same
behavior as version 6.0 (enfrun.exe -m).
Quick Start for Enforcer
I) How to install Enforcer
II) How to register Enforcer
III) How to set up Enforcer
IV) How to start Enforcer (enfrun.exe) when Windows starts
I) How to install Enforcer
If you are reading this file, you have successfully opened the
ZIP file or expanded the self-extracting executable to a folder
on your system. In the folder with this ReadMe.txt file, you will
see a file named setup.exe. This file starts the installation
process. To install Enforcer, run this file, setup.exe. You may
run it by double clicking on it in Explorer or using the Start->Run
command.
When you run setup.exe, it will walk you through the necessary steps
to install Enforcer on your system.
II) How to register Enforcer
First, visit our website at https://posum.com/enfordr.html and
order your copy(s) of Enforcer. Once we receive and process your
order, we will email you a registration number.
To register your copy of Enforcer after you obtain your registration
number from Posum, perform the following steps.
1) Run enfset.exe. This will require that enfrun.exe is not running.
2) Select the Help->Register menu item on the main dialog.
3) When the Registration dialog appears, type in your registration
number. To avoid re-typing it just cut and paste it from your email
message you received from us. Select OK.
4) If you have any problem registering the software, make sure that the
registration number is entered exactly as you received it. The number
is case sensitive. Also, make sure there are no spaces at the beginning,
middle, or end of the number and all the dashes must be present.
5) Enforcer is now registered.
III) How to set up Enforcer
These are two simple examples. The first demonstrates how to prevent
access to a single task, "Display Properties", while allowing anything else
to run. The second demonstrates how to allow access to only a single
task, Notepad, while preventing anything else from running.
An extensive set of examples is included in the helpfiles. Please look
there for an example that more closely matches what you wish to do.
To prevent access to "Display Properties"
1) If enfrun.exe is running, stop it with the password.
2) Bring up Display Properties using the right mouse click somewhere
on your desktop and keep it displayed.
3) Run enfset.exe and press the Add Task button. The Add Task
dialog will appear.
4) Press the Browse button at the end of the Task name field. From
the Task Browser dialog select the task name "Display Properties"
and press OK to return to the Add Task dialog.
5) Make sure the "Prohibit task" radio button is checked then
press OK. This will return you to the main dialog of enfset.exe and
the task name for "Display Properties" will show up in your Task List.
6) Since all this example does is make sure "Display Properties" does
not run, make sure the "Options->Prohibit all tasks except those
specified" menu item IS NOT checked.
7) Define a password you havenÆt already
8) Press OK to exit enfset.exe and save the changes.
9) Run enfrun.exe.
To only allow access to Notepad
1) If enfrun.exe is running, stop it with the password.
2) Bring up Notepad (Start->Run notepad.exe) and keep it running.
3) Run enfset.exe and press the Add Task button. The Add Task
dialog will appear.
4) Press the Browse button at the end of the Task name field. From
the Task Browser dialog select the task name that goes with Notepad
and press OK to return to the Add Task dialog.
5) Make sure the "Ignore task" radio button is checked then edit
the task name to be just "Notepad". Press OK. This will return you
to the main dialog of enfset.exe and the task name "Notepad" will
show up in your Task List.
6) Since all this example does is to allow the user to run Notepad and
nothing else, make sure the "Options->Prohibit all tasks except those
specified" menu item IS checked.
7) Define a password you havenÆt already
8) Press OK to exit enfset.exe and save the changes.
9) Run enfrun.exe.
IV) How to start Enforcer (enfrun.exe) when Windows starts
Enforcer will not automatically start up when Windows starts. When you
are satisfied with the configuration of Enforcer, use the "Options->Start
Enforcer at Windows startup" menu item in Enforcer Setup to configure your
system's registry to execute Enforcer (enfrun.exe) when Windows 95/98/Me
or NT/2000 starts.

LEGAL STUFF:
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration,
you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated
program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution.
The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software,
either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors
require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can
try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product,
you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Windows Enforcer must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "Windows
Enforcer is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of
fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
consequential, which may result from the use of Windows Enforcer."
Windows Enforcer (hereby known as "the software") is a "shareware program" and
is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. The "shareware",
unregistered, version of the software can be freely distributed, but it cannot
be altered in any way or distributed as part of another system. If you find
the software useful, you must make a registration payment to Posum LLC to obtain
a personalized registration number. The registration fee for a single copy will
license one copy of the software for use on any one computer at any one time.
Each license of the software purchased grants the licensed individual the
privilege to use a single copy of the software. Once a license is granted, it
cannot be transferred to another individual. The purchase of a license or
licenses does not bestow the right to distribute, resell, or in any way
disseminate registered versions of the software or registration numbers for the
software.
After being approved, resellers may purchase licenses of the software for
customers, but the licenses will be granted to the customers directly and not to
the reseller. Resellers are not granted rights to distribute, resell, or in
any way disseminate registered versions of the software or registration numbers
for the software except through specific purchasing agreements with Posum LLC.
See our reseller page at http://posum.com/reseller.html.
Anyone distributing the software for any kind of remuneration must first contact
Posum LLC for authorization and the terms for distributing the software.
