Disabling The Password Feature |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer wanted to know if there is a way to disable the password feature (Ctrl-F5, 2, 1), so that users cannot put a password on a file. Solutions: The only way to do this is by creating a keyboard macro for Ctrl-F5. The macro would replace the Ctrl-F5 menu with a user-defined menu without the password option. The password feature can be accessed through the pull-down menus, also. To disable these menus define Alt-= (Alt-Equals) to do nothing, and make sure the option for Alt Key Selects Pull-Down Menu is set to No (Shift-F1, 2, 4, N). To disable the ability to use the original keyboard, use the /NO startup option. Even with all of the above in place, a knowledgeable user could delete the .SET file, use the /X startup option, or start WordPerfect without the /NO option and then use Ctrl-6 to access the original keyboard. These ideas will, however, keep the average user from putting a password on a file on accident. |
