Overview

About WINSelect®
Many third-party programs are not specifically designed for use in public access environments and allow
malicious or inexperienced users to disrupt computer use. WINSelect brings these programs under y our
control, by allowing system administrators in these environments to selectively control third-party program and
Windows operating system features, such as:
••
•
•
•
•

menus
hot keys
desktop and Tooltray icons
right mouse menus
location of opening and saving
CTRL-ALT-DEL (Windows 9x systems only)

WINSelect is modular and targeted programs, such as Internet Browsers, are controlled by the KIOSK module.
Overall system security and specific functionality (such as where users may save and open files) is controlled
by POLICY (This is notWindows Policy). Depending on your needs, you may wish to use both components, or
just one.

Upgrading, Installation, and Removal
Note: All Upgrades require a system reboot.
Windows NT
If you have a licensed version of WINSelect version 4.0 or 4.01 for NT, the upgrade will install a licensed
version of WINSelect 5.0 with only the KIOSK module. In order for the upgrade to proceed properly, the
upgrade setup must be run while the previous license version isinstalled, since this step prepares the
computer for the installation of the upgrade. A message will then give instructions to remove the previous
version. After the previous version has been removed and the computer rebooted, run the upgrade setup again
and follow instructions.
Windows '95/98
Depending on which version of WINSelect is currently installed on the computer to be upgraded, (KIOSKor
Policy or both), it will be upgraded to a licensed version of WINSelect 5.0 with the licensed modules. In order
for the upgrade installation to proceed properly, the upgrade setup must be run while the previous license
version is installed, since this step prepares the computer for the installation of the upgrade .. A message
will then give instructions to remove the previous version. Afterthe previous version has been removed and the
computer rebooted, run the upgrade setup again and follow instructions.
If the upgrade is being installed on a version of WINSelect v5.0
or later, removal of the previous version, before upgrading, is not
required. If removal of a previous version is required,
the previous configuration settings will be retained.

Uninstalling WINSelect

by the system, you must reboot your system after removing WINSelect in order to completely remove this
software.
Reinstalling this software after removing a previous version requires a reboot before reinstallation -- until you
reboot after removing WINSelect, the WINSelect software will not...
