****************************************************************************

SignOn! is a multiple user administration program for Windows. In the 
shareware version you may assign up to 3 user. They can only access their 
individual applications if they identify themselves with their user ID and 
password.
Each access to Windows is recorded in a log file.
You can assign 3 applications per user.
At the beginning of each session the AutoRun-applications will be executed.

The administrator job is to: 

		- create user
		- delete user
		- assign applications for the users
		- assign AutoRun applications

This program is especially useful for a family-computer where the kids are
also allowed to work with. So you can ensure that your children run only
the applications they are supposed to instea of e.g. deleting files.

In the registered version you may assign up to:
	- 255 users
	- 255 applications per user
	- 255 AutoRun applications

You have to enter the user-ID and the name of the user.
The ID may consist of up to 8 characters.

If you check the administrator-flag you will grant the user access to any

leave Windows.

Then enter the time when the user may start logging onto the system.

The password of the new user is 'NEW'. The user should change it when
he logs on.
