Timer settings

The timer feature controls how long others can use your computer. Once that limit is reached, Windows is summarily shut down.

• Enable - select this check box to enable timer.

• If you do not want to apply new time interval - clear Apply new timer interval check box. Note: if you leave this check box checked, WinLock will reset the timer and set a new value. This check box is enabled only when Lock feature is active.
  
  Tip: When timer is enabled, WinLock displays the remaining time as a part of the tray icon hint.
  
  
  

At this page you can also specify lock mode.

• Shutdown - shuts down the system.

• Logoff - shuts down all running processes and logs the user off.
  
  Note: Logoff mode is not supported in Windows 95/98.
  

• Lock after reset - select this check box if you want to lock Windows after incorrect shutdown (for example, after pressing the Reset button).

• Disable timer after unlock - select this check box if you want to turn off timer after unlock the computer.

• Reset timer daily - this option allows you to limit daily computer usage. When enabled, WinLock unlocks the computer for a certain period of time, once in a day. Do not attempt to adjust system date and time while WinLock running in this mode! Otherwise, this mode will be automatically turned off. It is also recommended to disable Internet time synchronization option.

• Unlock prompt - specifies how long WinLock shows Unlock dialog that prompts for the correct password on the startup. If you clear Show unlock prompt dialog check box, this dialog will not be closed.

• Block attempts to reenter the password - select this checkbox to disable the ability to enter the password more than once. This prevents brute-force password cracking.

Tip: if you want to lock your system immediately, in Protection menu select Lock.
