SUMMARY
=======

In Windows version 3.1, a new section will be added to the PROGMAN.INI
initialization file to allow system and network administrators to restrict the
functionality of the Program Manager to make it better suited to handle shared
files.

There are five new options available to prevent a user from modifying his group's
configuration or from running untrusted software. These options appear in the
section labeled [Restrictions]. This article details each of the options below.

MORE INFORMATION
================

[Restrictions]

   NoRun=[0/1]

      When the NoRun switch is set to 1, the Run command on the <B>File</B>
      menu is disabled. The default value of this option is 0 (allow
      File Run).

   [Restrictions]
   NoClose=[0/1]

      When the <B>NoClose</B> option is set to 1, this option prevents the
      user from exiting the Program Manager, through the <B>File</B> menu,
      the <B>System</B> menu, the <B>ALT+F4</B> accelerator or the             TaskManager. The default value of this option is 0 (allow exit).

   [Restrictions]
   NoSaveSettings=[0/1]

      When the <B>NoSaveSettings</B> option is set to 1, this option             prevents the user from saving the main window position and the load       order of the groups. It also disables the "Save Settings on Exit"
      command on the <B>Options</B> menu. The default value of this option       is 0 (allow the user to save settings).

   [Restrictions]
   NoFileMenu=[0/1]

      When the <B>NoFileMenu</B> option is set to 1, this option disables        the <B>File</B> menu entirely. All commands on this menu are disabled       as well. The default value of this option is 0 (the <B>File</B> menu       is enabled).

   [Restrictions]
   EditLevel=<value>

      This <B>EditLevel</B> option controls the extend to which a user can
      modify read/write groups (shared, read-only groups may never be
      modified). The following values are recognized:

         0 Allow any change (default)
         1 User cannot create, delete, or rename groups
         2 Value 1 restrictions; also, user cannot create or delete
           items
         3 Value 2 restrictions; also, user cannot change item command
           lines
         4 Value 3 restrictions; also, user cannot change any item
           property
