WINDOWS
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:
[Restrictions]
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).
[Restrictions]
NoClose=[0/1]
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 Task Manager. The
default value of this option is 0 (allow exit).

NoSaveSettings=[0/1]
When the NoSaveSettings option is set to 1, this option prevents
the user from saving the main window position and the load order

command on the Options menu. The default value of this option is
0 (allow the user to save settings).
