WinLock is a utility you can use to control how long others can use your computer. It runs from the system tray and requires a password to gain access to the available settings. It loads automatically with Windows and allows you to add an optional startup message, provide audio notification, and set the time limit. Once that limit is reached, Windows is summarily shut down. You can toggle the timer on and off from the tray. When enabled, there is no way around it without the proper password. WinLock also allows to disable Windows hotkeys (such as Alt-Ctrl-Del, Alt-Tab,Ctrl-Esc, etc.), lock Windows desktop, hide Start button and Switch bar. Disable applications and Lock files featurer allows to disable some applications and lock selected files.
Our Review: WinLock will protect your PC when you leave or share with other people. With WinLock, you can set a password and have your PC shut down after a user specified time limit. This way, the PC shuts down by itself and you won't have to worry about going over time limits. Good for use at home with kids, making sure they do their homework or go to bed on time. In addition, WinLock has protection from computer resets and prevents DOS shell on Windows load. WinLock really does its job and the user should be careful not to forget their password.
