What is Fortres 101 ????

• Fortres 101 is an innovative security agent that
  resides invisibly between the computer and the
  user. A computer sentinel, Fortres 101 monitors
  each action the user makes and determines if that
  action is legal or not. Protecting not only the
  software and hardware applications, Fortres 101
  also protects time and money by preventing damage
  to files and programs. You will no longer waste
  time re-imaging, ghosting, or reinstalling
  software because of accidental or mischievous
  deletions and errors. Fortres 101 offers you the
  ability to restrict/block local hard drives and
  removable floppy disk drives as well as any local
  file, folder, or application. Fortres 101 is
  available for Windows 3.x/95/98 and Windows
  NT/2000 machines. For users of Windows 3.x,
  Fortres 101 v2.51d is available.

42
Recommended Setup
Fortres 101 should not be used to hinder the end
user from doing his or her work. It should be
implemented in such away as not to deter people
from using their computer efficiently. Hence,
the purpose of Fortres is to keep people from
accidentally or purposely messing up computers,
which can help those maintaining the computers to
focus more time on critical problems and not so
much on problems initiated by end user errors.
  There are really 3 pages that you need to be
concerned with in setting up Fortress. The
Windows Disable Page, The File Protect Page, and
the Privileged Apps Page. Another page to look
at if you are having problems is the Diagnostics
page.   The main thing to consider before you
implement Fortres is the end user. There are
basically three types of end users in Bowling
Green City schools. You have students, teachers,
and administrative personnel.
43
Lab Environment (Student)
1.) Security is tighter in the lab environment
for the students. 2.)   Example of Windows
Disable Page for Lab Environment are as
follows    
3.) Have frequently used programs on Desktop or
on Office bar.
44
Teacher Environment
1.)   Security is a little less than the Lab
environment. 2.)   Example of Windows Disable
Page settings for teacher environment are as
follows
3.) Have frequently used programs on Desktop or
on Office bar.
45
Administrative Environment

Teachers setting. 2.)   Example of Windows
Disable Page settings for Administrative User are

on Office bar.
