Restricting access to other resources

With Folder Guard, you can restrict access not only to files and folders, but also to many other Windows resources, such as Start Menu, Control Panel, Desktop, etc. To set up such restrictions, use the Permissions command on the Protect menu of Folder Guard, which opens the Permissions dialog box:

For the detailed description of the permissions offered by Folder Guard, please refer to the description of the Permissions dialog box.

Note that if your computer is configured to use Group Policies or System Policies, the policies set up with such tools may contradict the permissions you set up with Folder Guard. For example, you might have used Folder Guard to allow the use of the Run command for a particular user, but the existing Group Policy for that user may still restrict the user from using that command. To avoid such problems, use either Folder Guard or another tool to manage the permissions, but not both. If you would rather use Group Policies or the System Policy Editor to manage the policies, you can instruct Folder Guard to ignore any permissions you have set up with it by clearing the Enable Permissions option on the Settings - Protection dialog box.
