Sharing your computer with other users might sometimes mean that they end up installing all sorts of programs you do not need or want. One of the ways you can prevent this from happening is to use Software Policy, a specialized software solution.

The app installs without any issues, and you can start enjoying its functions within seconds. It is automatically displayed in the system tray, and you can right-click its icon when you want to quickly enable or disable it.

You can also access its main window if you prefer, yet you should know that no extra settings are available - in other words, you can benefit from the same options shown in the system tray menu.

Once you enable Software Policy, no unauthorized software can be installed or run on your computer. It needs to be mentioned that the items from Program Files keep on running without any restriction since the restriction only affects third-party apps located in other folders.

Nonetheless, you can customize the configuration of the app to your liking by editing the INI file in Notepad or any other text editor you prefer. As such, you can add specific folders that will not be affected by the restriction imposed by the app.

Moreover, you can also choose a password that will be required whenever someone tries to bypass the limitations and to disable the utility.

Software Policy can help you make sure that nobody installs programs from removable flash drives or suspicious folders without your prior approval.

Keep in mind that some advanced PC skills are required to fully enjoy the feature-set of this application, since novices might not be able to edit the INI file correctly.
