Boot

The following restrictions are available in this group:

Disable function keys on boot up - By default Windows 9x enables the interruption keys on boot, these allow you to control the boot process. For example pressing F5 while the "Starting Windows..." message is displayed will boot Windows in Safe Mode. This option allows you to disable the F5, F6 and F8 keys. If you have turned on the restriction Require User's Validation for Windows Access and have not tested it yet, do not enable this restriction until you are sure it does work on your PC properly because it denies access to Safe Mode completely. Option affects the whole PC. Reboot your PC to activate or deactivate this option. Applicable to Windows 95/98/ME.

Disable ability to skip startup programs - Normally if you hold the Shift key while Windows is loading you can prevent the Startup applications from being launched. This setting disables the ability to by-pass these programs. Set up the rest "Boot" options to lock your computer more safely. Option affects the whole PC. Reboot your PC to activate or deactivate this option. Applicable to Windows NT/2000/XP.

Allow booting to the previous operating system - If you installed an upgrade version of Windows 9x, you can normally press F4 to boot your previous version of Windows. This option can be disabled. Option affects the whole PC. Reboot your PC to activate or deactivate this option. Applicable to Windows 95/98/ME.

Suppress safe mode warning message - Enabling the setting suppress the safe mode warning message when booting up, and bypasses the Startup menu. In most of cases it can give access to DOS mode if your PC was not properly shut down. We do recommend you to turn on this option if you secure PC entrance by the Require User's Validation for Windows Access option. If you have turned on the Require User's Validation for Windows Access restriction and have not tested it yet, do not enable this restriction until you are sure it does work on your PC properly because it restricts access to Safe Mode. Option affects the whole PC. Reboot your PC to activate or deactivate this option. Applicable to Windows 95/98/ME.

Require user's validation for windows access - By default Windows doesn't require a valid username and password combination for a user to create and use a local Windows machine. This functionality can be changed to require this validation. Using this option you can stop unauthorized access to your PC via Cancel button while logging in. If you turn on all boot options, only known users defined in Control Panel will have access to your PC using their own usernames and passwords. You need to create at least one user profile, and to define a password for it. Make sure that Microsoft Family Logon is enabled in the network configuration, and set as Primary Network Logon. Use the item Users of Control Panel to create user profiles. To install Microsoft Family Logon: Open the item Network of Control Panel and check the list of installed network components. If you do not see Microsoft Family Logon there, install it as follows: Press the button Add, choose the item Client in the dialog box, then press the button Add. Choose the item Microsoft from the list of Manufacturers and then the item Microsoft Family Logon from the list of Network Clients, then press the button Ok. The last and very important step is to set Microsoft Family Logon as Primary Network Logon. To do this, use the combo box Primary Network Logon, which is situated below the button Add in the item Network of Control Panel. See How to setup this option correctly. Option affects the whole PC. Reboot your PC to activate or deactivate this option. Applicable to Windows 95/98/ME.

Always check password on boot - Use this option to lock your personal computer with a password by starting Screen Lock on Boot. Screen Lock is an application you can use to lock your desktop while you are away (see the icon "1st Screen Lock" on the desktop of your PC). If you turn on this option, it will be impossible to get to your PC without knowing password. You can define the boot password in the folder Screen Lock of Common Restrictions or User Restrictions of the tree. Applicable to Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
