If you have installed the Professional Edition, you can prevent a user from closing PREDATOR by changing some settings.
1) Login as this user
2) Verify that you still remember the PREDATOR password:
- Remove the usb key
- Wait for the screen to turn black
- Press the Enter key a few times to get the Password dialog
- Enter your password: If PREDATOR unlocks the desktop then the password is ok, else follow this procedure to reset it.
3) After you have verified the password, open the Preferences, click Advanced options and:
- Check "Protect Preferences"
- Uncheck "Enable Pause"
- Uncheck "Enable Exit"
From now on, user will be prompted to enter the password when he opens the Preferences.
Ordinary users are not supposed to know this password. If it has been compromised, change it with this procedure.
