During installation, you will be required to provide an 'Admin' username and password, after which you will have to reboot the host system for the changes to take effect. Subsequently, Fortres 101 runs minimized in the system tray, where you can access its main window by double-clicking its icon.

The categories of changes that can be blocked with the help of this program are grouped into tabs, specifically: 'Basic Settings', 'Desktop Settings', 'Windows 8' (depending on the system), 'File & Registry Settings', 'Kiosk Mode', 'Internet Settings', 'Startup and Shutdown', 'Special Applications', and 'Diagnostics'. In the case of each group, various settings are listed and they can either be enabled or disabled, depending on your particular needs.

These too can be password-protected. Fortres 101 proves to be a useful and efficient piece of software that owners of public access computers can resort to if you want to keep them safe from unwanted changes or potential damage.
