Installing WINSelect
Prior to installing WINSelect, the Fast User Switching options for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows
7 must be disabled. Refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279765
for more information.
WINSelect must be disabled during the creation of a new User Profile. As part of WINSelect
protection, the registry editing tools and command prompt will be disabled. The administrator
will have to disable WINSelect to use these tools.
If a removable drive is connected during the WINSelect install, it is assigned a drive letter. It is
recommended that removable drives be disconnected during installation to avoid unintentionally
applying WINSelect settings.
If Windows Group Policies are set on a workstation and WINSelect sets the same policy, WINSelect
will take precedence. If WINSelect does not duplicate the Group Policy setting, the Group Policy
will not be affected.
To install WINSelect, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the CD-ROM from the media package into the CD-ROM drive. If WINSelect has been
