Visual Automation, Inc. today announces iLock(TM) Version 2 for Windows® 95/98. This new version of iLock provides several new enhancements as a desktop shell replacement for the purpose of limiting access to applications on the computer.

iLock provides a new way to access Icons - And a way to restrict access

As a shell, iLock replaces the explorer interface, providing an "Explorer like" icon window in it’s place. Each icon or folder may be locked. Access to Windows configuration functions require a password. iLock configuration is focused on locking or unlocking icons and choosing a password.

iLock is ideal for the home, classroom, small business, cyber-cafe, or library

"We've listened to our customers and provided capabilities that they recommended," said Duane Fahey, President of Visual Automation. "We have focused our design efforts on minimal configuration in a classroom setting. Icon configuration is read right from Explorer interface, we just provide the means to lock it down."

iLock is available direct from Visual Automation, Inc. or any of its authorized resellers at an MSRP of $29 USD. A 20 pack license is $200 USD. A K-12 School District or College Campus license is $1,500 USD. Online purchasing is also available for a try-and-buy for 21 days at the iLock web page at http://www.ilock.com.
