Restrictions.

There are two types of restrictions in the main tree. The first type of restrictions affects all users of the computer at once. Only the group Boot of the tree has such items. The second type of restrictions affects a selected user only. Almost all the rest items in the tree have this type. Each type of restrictions is marked with a small image in the Information panel. If you have chosen an item with the first type, you can see the image “Computer” at the right side of the main window below the description of the restriction. If you have chosen an item with the second type, you can see the image “User” in the same place. After setting some restrictions up you need to reboot your computer for them to come into force. The flashing note “Need to reboot” reminds you about this.

Customizing Shell Folders
By default Windows has no a possibility to customize Shell Folders. For example, you can not assign the same desktop for any first two users and different desktop for third user. Only separate shell folders can be assigned for each user. It is impossible to make a common shell folder such as Desktop for two or more users if you use standard Windows tools.
Security Administrator enables you to realize it. You can customize not only Desktop, but also Favorites, Recent Documents, My Documents, Start Menu, Programs, Startup, Network Neighborhood and other Windows Shell Folders.
