"Both WinShield and FolderBolt are very valuable educational tools that are being widely adopted by schools across the United States." Mr. Solomon continued, "This endorsement by Compaq, combined with WinShield's capabilities to meet market needs, are paving the way to make WinShield and FolderBolt the standards for desktop configuration protection in the ever growing Education marketplace. And we believe FolderBolt will have the same acceptance within the education community."

With WinShield for Networks, education administrators can assign different security levels, called profiles, to students, teachers and administrators alike, providing unlimited flexibility in defining the school system's security policy. WinShield for Networks applies the appropriate user security to any network computer the user logs on to. The installation and configuration of WinShield across your network workstations is made easier using Citadel's centralized administrator program. WinShield for Networks prevents changes to system settings such as desktop appearance, Control Panels utilities, hardware drivers, addition and deletion of printers, registry editing tools, performance settings, etc. These tools provide the best combination of features to help reduce the number of problems that generate the majority of technical support and repair calls. Administrators can configure which applications users can access by shielding specific desktop program icons, "Start Menu" shortcuts, access to the DOS prompt or DOS applications and access to the "Find" command providing an additional level of security and simplifying the users desktop. To prevent the installation of unauthorized software, the administrator can restrict the use of the "Run" command, and access to the floppy drive, CD ROM, and the Internet.

FolderBolt 3.0 is the perfect is the perfect data security product that protects data in a shared computing environment, prevents access to data on unattended machines, and secures confidential data that is stored on removable media such as Iomega Zip(R), Jaz(R), SyQuest, LS-120, and floppies. FolderBolt 3.0 also offers many advanced features including a "Self-Decrypting Files" and "Drop Box." Self-Decrypting files are encrypted files that can be sent electronically and decrypted on any computer with or without FolderBolt. A Drop Box is a shared folder that users may deposit files into, but only someone with the password may access the read files.

WinShield and FolderBolt support Windows '95 and Windows NT. Windows '95 and NT are registered trademarks of Microsoft.
