Editor's review

This is a software tool that helps keeping a machine locked completely when you are away.

Sentry locks down your computer if you lock it and do not want anyone to use it at all. This tool will not let any other programs to be opened, no browser history to be looked at, nor anybody be able to look at your files. Sentry can even take messages from people who dropped by your workstation while you were away. The program can be operated from system tray, by a system-wide hotkey, or when the system has been idle for a while. You can specify this idle time. It is possible to customize the appearance of your screen while Sentry is running. The screensaver you favor, could be run within this utility. The obvious question is that Windows does have a lock function and then what does this tool offer extra! It offers complete control, ability of screen layout, multi-user supports, Internet support, etc.

This tool has a feature, that will let you carry the lock with you and lock up any public machine that you use at different places. Sentry2Go lets you copy the program to removable media such as a USB flash drive, or CD-ROM, and carry that with you allowing you to quickly lock any workstation you may be using. People who are required to leave their workstations on short notice could use this to secure their systems from the prying eyes of other employees, students or your own kids. This is a good product if you wanted to try it.

Publisher's description

Sentry locks down your computer on demand so it stays secure when you aren't using it. No other programs can be opened, no browser history can be snooped at, and nobody will be touching your files while you're gone. Sentry can even take messages from people who dropped by your workstation while you were away. You can customize the appearance of your screen while Sentry is running, and have your favorite screen savers run within the program. Sentry can launch from a system tray icon, a global hotkey, or after your computer has been idle (no keyboard/mouse input) for a certain amount of time. The Sentry2Go feature lets you copy the program to removable media such as a floppy disk, USB flash drive, or CD-rom, allowing you to quickly lock any public workstation you may be using. Sentry is ideal for people in workplaces who may have to leave their system unexpectedly and don't want co-workers to snoop around in their files. It's also useful for teachers, parents, etc, who don't want the kids messing with their computer if it's left on.
