Aston Secure Desktop
Aston Secure Desktop is a security build of Aston 1.x branch. It possesses all the features of regular Aston shell, but
constrains the ability to alter the admin-defined settings. This restricted version is highly recommended to Internet-cafes
and kiosks administrators, colleges and companies authorities, and parents willing to find their Desktop settings unaltered
after their kids incursions. This is also a perfect way out in other situations when users' ability to customize their working
area needs to be limited.
With Aston Shell Secure Desktop you get a restricted but still beautiful and powerful desktop enhancement. It no way limits the comfort and attractiveness of regular Aston.

Two Modes of Aston Secure Desktop:
- User mode
In order to switch to the Admin mode one needs to press the pre-defined hotkey combination (Ctrl+Win+Del) and enter the
password. From within the Admin mode one can set the programs and applications to be available from the Main Menu,
both Toolbars, Panels (regular and vertical) and Desktop. When in the Admin mode, one can also tweak the system date
and time and the screen settings, the same concerns Themes and skins. In a word, the Admin mode of Aston Secure Desktop
behaves like regular Aston shell.
In case the Administrator needs to apply the same settings to several computers, he may simply configure the shell for
one computer, export settings and apply those settings on any (all) other machine.
- Admin mode
Unless one knows the admin password, he has to operate the User mode. User mode gives no opportunity to change the
pre-defined settings - the user can only start the programs and apps permitted by the Administrator. Additionally you
can set password for any desktop element (icon) which gives you even greater control over the shell. The appearance
of the shell (Themes and skins) cannot be re-designed either. But the usability of the shell is still very high.
