What is WINSelect?

Controlling  user  activity  on  public  use  and  kiosk  computers  is  a  problem  that  IT  personnel 

continually face. IT administrators want a solution that allows them to easily manage user access to 

certain  applications,  web  sites,  and  menu  options  so  that  they  can  influence  how  a  workstation  is 

used.  Faronics  WINSelect  protects  a  computer’s  purpose  by  empowering  administrators  with  full 

control over a workstation’s abilities. Windows operating system features, Start menu functionality, 

Internet Explorer capabilities, and Windows Explorer options can all be heavily customized to suit 

organizational needs.

System Requirements

Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit) or
