Windows Manager Plugin for Back Orifice XP
Copyright (c) 2,001-2,004 Javier Aroche
Version 1.2 Final Release.
THIS IS A FINAL RELEASE VERSION, YOU CAN REDISTRIBUTE THIS VERSION

Description

WinMan is a plugin for the great remote administration suite Back Orifice XP (BOXP). This is a plugin to take the control of the windows that the applications use in MS Windows. You can use this very smartly for control and restrict the access to server machine. This the useful one for the administrators that need the users to not enter to where they don't should.

If you want to limit the user, first you can start certain application. Then disable the special keys (Ctrl-Esc, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Del), later hide or close the takbar, hide the desktop and clip the cursor to the application's main window that you want and that is everything.
