What is WINSelect?
Controlling user activity on public use and kiosk computers is a problem that IT personnel
continually face. IT administrators want a solution that allows them to easily manage user access to
certain applications, web sites, and menu options so that they can influence how a workstation is
used. Faronics WINSelect protects a computer’s purpose by empowering administrators with full
control over a workstation’s abilities. Windows operating system features, Start menu functionality,
Internet Explorer capabilities, and Windows Explorer options can all be heavily customized to suit
organizational needs.
System Requirements
Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit) or
Windows 7 (32-bit) and Faronics Core. It is highly recommended that all components be installed
using the Windows Administrator account.
Faronics Core Console requires 32- or 64-bit editions of Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, or
WindowsVista in addition to .NET 3.5, MMC 3.0,and any edition of Microso SQL Server 2005 or Microso
