Security, again

Sorry to rehash, but our institution just purchased a windows security
program called WINLOCK

http://www.vsoft.demon.co.uk/wl95.htm

after turning down my request for Fortres & IKIOSK.

>From what I can tell (and I've only given it a few minutes attention) it
locks up the OS and prevents users from getting to DOS, files, etc.  It
will not, like IKIOSK, allow you to disable features in specific
applications, like Netscape Wallpaper.

Has anyone else used or evaluated this product and could you share your
insights?

Related issue:  Has anyone developed a checklist of desirable features or
functions for assessing security programs?  If so, can you share?

Thanks in advance - I'll summarize for the list if there's sufficient
interest.
