1st Security Center is a powerful security utility that allows you to restrict access to important resources on Windows 9.x/ME/NT/2000/XP platforms.

This is an easy-to-use utility, and helps you to keep your computer in secure order. It enables you to impose a wide range of access restrictions to protect both your privacy and your data:

• You can deny access to each individual component of several Control Panel applets. These include: Display, Network, Passwords, Printers, and System.
• You can disable boot keys, DOS programs, Registry editing and of course network access.
• You can hide desktop icons, individual drives, start menu items and taskbar features.
• If you set up the special list of allowed applications nobody will run unwanted programs.
• The "User Working Time" feature allows you to limit working time for your children, office colleagues, students, etc. You can define several time intervals and time durations to manage and define working time very easy.

1st Security Center also supports Internet Explorer security and enables you to customize many aspects of the Web browser. It allows you to disable individual menu items, prevent others from editing your Favorites, disable individual tabs in the Options dialog, and so on.

AUDIT
Also the program can log (to the special log file) WHO and WHEN uses your computer, so that you always know who has used your computer.

OTHER FEATURES
The administrator password prevents others from running the program, changing settings or uninstalling the program itself. The "Import/Export" function helps you set up the same settings on several computers very easy. Security restrictions can also be applied universally or just to specific users (1st Security Center has got the multiuser intuitional interface).

Overall, this is an extremely comprehensive but surprisingly easy to use Windows control sub-system.
