Beschreibung Deutsch

Blockiert den Ease Access Button, die Einrastfunktion und es ist dadurch möglich Programme als Systen-Benuter auszuführen.

Blockierung von Ease Access und der Einrastfunktion:
Jeder, der Windows Vista, 7 oder 8 kennt, weiß um den Ease Access Button auf dem Logon-Screen oder um die Einrastfunktion, diese Funktionen können nicht nur nervig sein, sondern auch gefährlich.
Durch ein paar Handgriffe ist es möglich durch diese Funktionen Zugriff auf das System zu erlangen ohne sich auch nur eingeloggt haben zu müssen. (Referenz: Siehe SemperVideo-Kanal auf Youtube)
Durch dieses Programm kann das Verhalten dieser Funktionen geändert oder ganz geblockt werden.

Programme als System-Konto ausführen:
Dies ist ein erweitertes Feature das es ermöglichen soll Programme als System-Benutzer, der Rechtemäßig weit über dem Administrator liegt, auszuführen.
Dadurch kann hartnäckige Spyware und Viren entfernt werden, ohne das System neu aufsetzen oder mit einer Live-CD booten zu müssen.
(Diese Funktion sollte nur von erfahreneren Benutzern verwendet werden, da man da auch viel schaden anrichten kann)

Benutzung

Für die Benutzung und die benötigten Programme und den Download-Link finden Sie in der Englischen Beschreibung weiter unten.

Englisch Description

Blocks the Ease Access Button and the Locking function. Furthermore it is possible to run Programs as System User.

Blocking of Ease Access and the Locking Function:
Everyone who knows Windows Vista/7/8 knows this little button in the bottom left corner of the logon screen. These Feautures are sometimes annoying and dangerous. With these it is possible to run the system without beeing logged in, in a very few steps.
With this program you can replace and block the behavior of these functions.

Running Programs as System User:
This is an extended Feauture that makes it possible to run programs as the system user, who has more rights than an ordinary admin-user.
Therefore it is possible to remove spyware without booting with a live cd and to reinstall windows.

What you need

- Windows XP/Vista/7/8
- Admin-Rights
- .NET Version 4: Microsoft Download Link
- Knowledge for what you do with this program (USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!)

How to Install

- Download from ZEDplace.com Uploads
- unzip the Program to a folder you want.
- Start the "ZEDplace KEA.exe". You don't need to install the program it runs out of the box.
- Type in a password you want. Don't forget it. You need it to configure and use (AND uninstall) the program.

The Configuration Panel

This Panel only shows up, if you run the Zedplace KEA by opening the exe file. You have to have admin-rights.

- Click "Block Ease Access" to enable KEA for the Ease Access Button
- Click "Reenable it" to disable KEA and to restore the original windows behavior

- Click "Block Locking FC" to enable KEA for the Locking Function. This takes effect to ALL Users of the System
- Click "Reenable it" to disable KEA and to restore the original windows behavior

- You can (have to) set a program start password. Type in the password you want and click on the button "Change!"

How to Run Programs as System User

- Make sure that KEA is enabled for at least one function described direct above
- If you enabled KEA for the Ease Access button, click Start->Change User and click onto the Ease Access Button
- If you enabled KEA for the Locking function, click Start->Change User and click the Shift Key five times

- The Program asks for a Password. Type in the program password you specified in control panel, click OK or hit Enter
- Now you can run the programs you unlocked in the configuration panel as System User simply by clicking on "Start" for the specified program
- If nothing happened when doing the steps above, KEA is not enabled for that feature.How to enable it see "The Control Panel"

Can't Access the screen magnifier or the onscreen keyboard

Neither the screen magnifier nor the onscreen keyboard will run when KEA is enabled for the Ease Access Button. This has to do with how KEA and these windows-tools work and is normal. In further updates I plan to make these things accessible again while kea is enabled.
For now, if you need them: Disable KEA for the Ease Access Button.

Have questions?

If you have any questions or if you have ideas on how to extend the program please send me a mail at kea@zedplace.com

How to Uninstall

- !!!IMPORTANT!!! Open Program and click Reinstall KEA and then "Reenable it" (Ease Access AND Locking Function)
- Then you can delete the program folder.
- KEA is now uninstalled.
