PC Chaperone provides a number of options designed to secure critical Windows settings
|
|
|
Prevent Changes to the Windows Date / Time
|
|
|
This option is used to prevent changes to the Windows date/time. This setting
is critical if there are any schedules being enforced in order to prevent
users from overriding schedule limits by resetting the current date or time
The Only the Windows Date/Time dialog option will block access to the standard
Windows date/time change dialog, but will allow changes by other programs. This option
should be used if synchronization software is being used that periodically updates the
date/time from either a local network or the Internet
The All sources option will block all changes to the date/time, including changes
made by other programs
