About Keepout

A simple nonconfigurable password protection facility for Windows.  Your password can not be discovered or modified by an intruder.  This utility is very 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.

Keepout maintains the input focus and will not allow other program usage until the password is entered and the Enter button is pressed.  Keepout comes in two versions - a "multimedia" version, and a plain version.  The multimedia version has an embedded wave file which will sound after the enter button is pressed.  This wave file will play when the wrong password is entered, enhancing security.   The multimedia version requires a sound source.   The plain version is "waveless".

This edition of Keepout is freeware and is supplied "as is" without warranty.  Keepout should work with 3rd party Program Manager replacements (i.e. PC Tools or Norton Desktop, etc.).

See the order form for details on how to get a personalized version of Keepout with the password of your choice, your name or favorite short phrase in the window title area, and a favorite sound embedded in the program.  A nominal fee will be charged to cover costs.

Introduction

Order Form

Getting Started:

Keepout is easy to use.  Just place the Keepout.exe (or keepout2.exe) file in the Windows directory or the directory of your choice.  Then make sure BWCC.DLL is present in the \windows\system directory.  Then from File Manager drag the icon to your Program Manager's startup group OR edit the win.ini file load= line to include the path to the location to the Keepout program.  For example: if the .exe file is in your windows directory,  the line will look like this   load=keepout.exe.  If the file is in another directory, then add the path, ex:  load=c:\dir\keepout.exe where dir is the specific location of Keepout.  The next time you start windows, Keepout will greet you and request a password.  Type in the password and hit the enter button and Keepout will disappear.  The password is INTRUDER (case is not important)

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

Features:

The features are few as this is a simple utility with one goal - To limit unathorized 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.
1) The multimedia version enhances security by sounding a wave file when the enter button is pressed.  This edition will work with the computer speaker if the speaker driver is installed. (This driver speak.exe is available on-line and comes with the personalized edition of Keepout.) Of course, better sound is obtained with a sound card.
2)  The tab key will locate the caret in the password edit box.
3)  A single right mouse click  on the gray area of Keepout will display the "About" box.
4) Personalized version available.

Safety:

Keepout is not tamperproof but will keep most users out of your data. The load= and run= lines in your win.ini file determine which programs operate at startup.  If you forget your password, you can exit to the DOS prompt by double-clicking the left mouse button  and then at the C:> prompt, unload Keepout as shown below and restart Windows.  If you have unsaved files open at exit time, a dialog will appear to allow you to save your data.  As the mouse is locked in the area over Keepout, use the keyboard to manipulate the save dialog box.

Uninstalling:

To uninstall: remove the icon from the startup group or delete the reference to Keepout in win.ini. Then delete keepout.exe and keepout.hlp from your system.  (Don't remove BWCC.DLL.  This will probably be needed by another program.)   If you forget the password or lose the written reminder,  you will need to edit the win.ini file from the DOS command line.  (type:  edit c:\windows\win.ini and hit enter.  Remove the reference to Keepout from the load= line.  Save the file and restart Windows.  As always, it is better to make a copy of  win.ini before you modify it.)

ABOUT
KEEPOUT  v 1.5  from Anaplastic Software,  a division of Dubious Productions, a subsidiary of D & E Enterprises.   "A small and unobtrusive password utility is hard to find." , they said.  Keepout is one solution to that problem.  We can be contacted through E-mail on CompuServe @ 72123,2012 or America Online care of "Teratoma".


KEEPOUT2
Keepout must remain small.  However, I will make changes that seem appropriate.  Version 2.0 will probably incorporate a dialog box to allow the user to choose the associated wave file.
