What is WINSelect?
Controlling user activity on public use and kiosk computers is a problem that IT personnel
continually face. IT administrators want a solution that allows them to easily manage user access to
certain applications, web sites, and menu options so that they can influence how a workstation is
used. Faronics WINSelect protects a computer’s purpose by empowering administrators with full
control over a workstation’s abilities. Windows operating system features, Start menu functionality,
Internet Explorer capabilities, and Windows Explorer options can all be heavily customized to suit
organizational needs.
System Requirements
Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit) or
Windows 7 (32-bit) and Faronics Core. It is highly recommended that all components be installed
using the Windows Administrator account.
Faronics Core Console requires 32- or 64-bit editions of Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, or
Windows Vista in addition to .NET 3.5, MMC 3.0, and any edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 Express. It is highly recommended that all components be installed using the Windows
Administrator account. The .NET, MMC, and SQL Server Express components are freely downloadable
from Microsoft, but are not redistributable by Faronics. However, the Faronics Core Console installer
will detect which of the components are not installed and will automatically launch a web browser to
the appropriate Microsoft page to download each component.
