AskAdmin: Block applications from being launched and restrict the access to any other type of file easily and effectively

AskAdmin allows you to block or restrict any programs or files from being launched on your computer. While the application has different practicalities, it's especially useful for parents who want to control what their kids use on the computer or users who want to stay on control of their data.

The interface is intuitive and pretty easy-to-use, the software allows you block any file or program by drag and dropping it to its main window. After any given file or program is added to the list, AskAdmin calculates its MD5 hash and modified the group policy to restrict its access.

The software also notified you when trying to access a restricted file or application but it allows you to run those file from the program's main interface. While this feature is very good for most users, you have to keep in mind that the restrictions are applied at the system level, meaning if anyone wants to copy those files on a USB drive and run it on other computers, they can do that just fine, without any restrictions whatsoever.

AskAdmin is a very handy tool to have around and if you're a parent that wants to have control over what your kid is seeing or playing, we recommend giving this application a try.
