The Lock Home Edition is a Windows desktop utility that is designed to be a supplement to standard Windows password authentication. The Lock Home Edition provides a simple secured desktop lock, requiring a password to be entered before desktop access is granted. This lock can present a second layer of system security as it can be configured with a password other than your Windows password. When used in this configuration, access to the environment will require a user to enter their Windows password to access the computer, and their Lock password to access the desktop. The Lock Home Edition implements a multi-user security framework which allows an administrator to create user accounts with varying security features such as computer access times and limits, restricting application access, and user logging.
