If the icons can be locked.. that's great.. but can they be locked down as well???

What do I have to do to get an answer on this? Seriously? Simple yes or no and a screenshot would be great. Yes you can password protect an icon.. Here is how.. or No, not a feature..

:bump: How about screenshots of the security tab/options? Or a straight answer regarding setting a password on an icon?

Just noticed the $499 price tag for the initial license for desktopX enterprise.. now I really need to test it out beforehand... $14.95, I was willing to drop that without a thought to test it, but now that it's a $500 investment, I really need to make sure it will do what we want.

Okay.. I'll give the regedit method a try for that, but I need to get the password protected icons before I'm able to demo the product.

The thing is.. another application for this might be for a large event that my company hosts... in which we rent 200 pc's to handle registration. Currently we use 98 with a custom shell application. It's really sweet.. but OS limited.. We can setup any number of "buttons" that we want and it's just a reg entry to adjust it from being a public button and a password protected one. Since shell=explore.exe isn't in the win.ini on the 98 machines, none

I'm fine with getting desktopx enterprise... only $14.95 per license.. not a problem. The thing is.. I would really like to test the security features and understand how to setup the desktops with those features so I can present it to those who make the decisions regarding software purchases. It is possible that we will deploy this in a higher capacity if it meets all our needs.

I am looking at using desktopx for a couple of kiosk machines in a museum. I'd like to disable the windows keys so that windows+e does not work, etc.. and I'd also like to password protect some of the icons, such as "shutdown", to prevent everyday users from shutting the machine down and/or opening up windows explorer.
