Use Public PC Desktop to turn your personal computer into an Internet
kiosk or a public access workstation. It can be setup to completely
disable access to files installed on your PC while giving full access
to all necessary applications you specify. This way, you create a
workstation that can be easily used in any public place, where many
people have free access to it, but none of them can damage (whether
accidentally or intentionally) vital system's files or clutter your
hard disk with garbage. You can selectively enable access to any
programs installed on your PC so that not only the web browser, but
also any other software you specify, can be run and used. Public PC
Desktop is a complete solution and is ideal for public libraries,
Internet cafes, information terminals and in-store kiosks. It is also
good for limiting activities of your children on your home PC so that
they could have full access to the programs you specify, but have no
access to the workstation itself. Public PC Desktop supports multiple
security modes providing you with an ability to specify the most
acceptable type of access to a locked desktop such as username and
password authentication, time-locked code (that allows users to access
workstation for a given period of time only) or a combination of both.
