About this tag
The lockdown tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about restricting user access and functionality on Windows systems, particularly Windows 7 and Windows Embedded 8. Topics include using Group Policy, scripts, and tools like Embedded Lockdown Manager (ELM) to limit user permissions, create kiosk-style environments, and manage lockdown features. Some threads also reference news about societal lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the primary focus is on technical methods for locking down Windows computers to control user actions and enhance security.
