Introduction

Keepout 3.0 is password protection facility for Windows.  Keepout KEEPS unauthorized users OUT of your Windows environment.  Your password can not be discovered or modified by the average intruder.  This utility is small, uses little disk space and will not tie up system resources.   See the section labeled Password and Operation for details regarding how to use Keepout. Note:  Keepout does not password protect individual programs or icons.

Keepout maintains the input focus and will not allow other program usage until the password is entered and the Enter button is pressed.  Keepout sounds a wave file when the enter button is pressed.  If the correct password is entered, a wave file of your choice is sounded.  If the wrong password is entered, a different wave is sounded and a message is displayed.  Thus, security is enhanced beyond the protection of your password, with audible evidence of tampering with your system.  Keepout is configurable with KSetup or KDeskTop.  Keepout is included with KDeskTop - DeskTop Security System - now available on-line for evaluation and offered at an incredibly low price.

Features:

The features are few as this is a simple utility with one goal - To limit unauthorized access to your Windows environment.  If you boot directly into Windows by including the line  WIN at the end of your autoexec.bat file, Keepout will protect your entire system from intruders.   See Safety for more information.

1)  Keepout plays a wave file you select when the enter button is pressed - an alarm of sorts.

2)  A selectable wave sound is played and a message is displayed when the wrong password is entered.

3)  Keepout is fully operational from the keyboard.

4)  Easily edit the caption (window title) to display your favorite phrase and change the alarm sound to suit your fancy.

4)  Ctrl+Alt+Del is disabled when Keepout is running, making it difficult for an intruder to warm boot your system and bypass the password dialog.

5)  Easily modify your password with KSetup or KDeskTop.

6)  Fully integrated with KDeskTop to enhance your Windows system security.

7)   A single left or right mouse click on the gray area of Keepout will display the "About" box.

8)  Complete on-line help available from within configuration program.

Getting Started:

Remember:  THE DEFAULT PASSWORD IS INTRUDER

Installation:

Using the install program

•	Run the Install program and Read Read1st.txt and Keepout.wri.

Manual Installation:

•	Delete any previous versions of Keepout. Then from the archive or disk do the following:

•	Create a directory to locate the following files: KEEPOUT.EXE, KEEPOUT.TXT, KEEPOUT.WRI, PATCH.EXE, PATCHINF.TXT, KSETUP.EXE and KEEPOUT.HLP.

•	GONG.WAV AND SORRY.WAV can be placed in the Keepout directory or the \windows directory to use the configured sounds.

•	Copy CTL3D.DLL and VRBTD.386 are in the windows\system directory.

•	Make  a backup copy of system.ini. Then add the line: 'device=path\vrbtd.386' to the [386Enh] section of your original system.ini.

•	Then from File Manager drag the Keepout icon to your Program Manager's startup group OR add keepout.exe to the RUN=  line in win.ini.  For example, RUN=C:\DIR\KEEPOUT.EXE, where DIR is the specific location of Keepout.

Operation:

If installed as above, Keepout v 3.0 will greet you when Windows is started and request a password. Type in the password, hit the enter button and Keepout will disappear.   Type the wrong password and hit enter and Keepout will warn you with a message and a wave sound.  Keepout disables Ctrl+Alt+Del while running.  Keepout sounds a wave file when the Enter button is clicked if sound is enabled. (Sound is enabled by default)  This requires a sound card or the computer speaker.  To use the computer speaker, a speaker driver must be installed through the Control Panel. See your Windows documentation to learn how to install a driver. The driver speak.exe is available on-line and comes with the Keepout disk.  Of course, better sound is obtained with a sound card.

See Configuration for more information about the program sound and title.

Other Ways to Use Keepout:

In addition to using Keepout at startup, consider using Keepout when you must leave your computer to run an errand or  take a break to prevent access to your work.  If Keepout is in a directory in your path, you can start it by typing Keepout or Keepout.exe in the File Manager.  Assign a shortcut key to Keepout from Program Manager's File/Properties dialog.  OR  Double click on the icon in the startup group.

Use Keepout with KDeskTop for a complete Windows security system.

Start Keepout when you must leave your system unattended to protect your files.  Also, remember Keepout disables Ctrl+Alt+Del when running so your computer can't be rebooted without shutting the power off.

Use KSetup to create a theme when you configure Keepout.  Here's one to get you started:

•	Caption=The Funny Farm

•	Wavefile=Ahhhhh.wav

•	Password=looneytune

Safety:

Keepout is not tamperproof but will keep most users out of your data. (Especially when used with KDeskTop and Applock)  If you are running MS-DOS 6.0 or higher, you can increase system security and unwanted access by adding the line SWITCHES=/N to the beginning of your CONFIG.SYS.  This line causes the operating system to disable the autoexec.bat and config.sys bypass.

 If you forget your password, you must shut off your computer.  Reboot the computer  then remove the reference to Keepout at the C:> prompt as shown in uninstalling Keepout.  Run Patch.exe to reset the default password.

Keepout - Password Protection Utility for Windows

Keepout is a simple password program.  Keepout prevents unauthorized access to the single non-networked Windows computing environment.   Keepout KEEPS unauthorized users OUT of your Windows environment. It has a configurable password, program sound and window title. (Configuration is possible with KSetup, the accompanying setup program or KDeskTop.)  Keepout v 3.0 now disables Ctrl+Alt+Del for increased security. Fully functional shareware.

KDeskTop - Total DeskTop Security for Windows

KDeskTop Utility - a multipurpose desktop utility and security program. KDeskTop combines the features of Keepout and OverSeer plus adds many quickly accessible features.  KDeskTop can be used in conjunction with Keepout (included) or as a stand alone program. If configured appropriately, KDeskTop is launched by Keepout at Windows startup.  KDeskTop can be used as a toolbar or a desktop icon. From KDeskTop, you can start the Windows SCREENSAVER, show the TIME and DATE, display SYSTEM RESOURCES, LOCKOUT Windows with Keepout or a password protected screensaver, DISABLE CTRL+ALT+DEL, EXIT OR QUICK REBOOT WINDOWS, AUTOMATE A DAILY REMINDER, and have a DESKTOP TRASHCAN at your disposal (pun intended!).  Keepout and Applock can be configured from within KDeskTop and a quick Windows Exit or Restart is available. KDeskTop INCLUDES Applock v1.1 and Keepout v3.0.  Fully functional shareware available in January, 1995.

OverSeer PMS  v1.3 - Program Manager Sentry

Protect your Program Manager setup with OverSeer PMS, an easy to use and practical PM sentry.

OverSeer PMS keeps your Program Manager groups and items safe and can even prevent users from exiting Windows.  It is useful at home or at work or anywhere that more than one user has access to the same Windows environment.  OverSeer PMS is fully functional shareware.

Applock - Application Password Protection

Applock allows you to lock out or restrict the use of Windows applications and, therefore, keep out unauthorized users.  Applock password protects applications, Program Manager icons and files. Perfect when used in combination with OverSeer PMS or KDeskTop to improve your Windows security.
