The default password is LETMEIN.

You need to contact support.


Software Usage

The software does not load when Windows starts.
It has been found that programs like PC Timer can disallow startup items unless you tell then otherwise. In the case of PC Timer you must go into the Admin section and click Take Snapshot button whilst WinGuard Pro is running. This then tell PC Timer to allow WinGuard Pro to run when Windows starts.

How do I lock the Boot Keys like Safe Mode, etc?
This feature was discontinued due to incompatibility.

How do I stop people installing software on my PC?
To configure WinGuard Pro to lock out all types of installation program, simply click the 'Block Software Installations' on the 'Extra Locking' menu. This feature is only available in version 4.1 onwards.

Can I stop people using the internet or stop people downloading files that may contain viruses?
Yes, you can either lock out all Internet access or just lock out downloads, just by clicking the relevant options on the Extra Locking menu. You can also lock out software installations by clicking on the relevant option.

Can I lock folders in 'my documents' ? And if so, how ?
There is an option on the Extra Locking menu called Lock My Computer, this also locks folders like My Documents in a similar way.
