CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
You can easily prevent access to select settings function for one user or all with this super simple tool. Settings Lock installs very slowly, but once open you'll find that the check-box-laden interface needs no instruction and you can get right to work.
Operating Settings Lock is very easy. The opening is a mere matter of first setting the Administrator and Supervisor passwords. The Administrator then just checks boxes for those settings that need protection. The app will block access to 13 common settings, including video display properties, user accounts, system properties, Task Manager, and others. If a user tries to access a password-protected settings display, the interface closes as soon as it opens. To open a protected settings screen, the administrator or supervisor must first pause protection using Settings Lock's Taskbar icon. The administrator password is required to make options changes.
Lab managers, system administrators, and all those who share PCs will like Settings Lock's simple operation. There are apps to lock individual settings screens, but this all-in-one approach works well.
