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

  NoRun=[0/1]

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

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