Do you wish to restrict some users from accessing certain programs, services, and files on a computer? With
AskAdmin, you can simply block access to chosen applications, files, and folder contents. AskAdmin can
block most any resource on your computer, including Microsoft Store, Microsoft EDGE, Google Chrome, Skype,
built-in apps (e.g. UWP), CMD & BAT files/scripts, reg data and more. To further prevent access to blocked items,
AskAdmin provides an optional password. AskAdmin is a portable application that is ideal for those with children,
and for business computers.

interface. If you wish, you can drag several applications on GUI at once.

How to block an Application a Folder or a File
if an Application , Folder or File name is on the list , mean: it is Automotically blocked (Folder inhalt will be
blocked not folder itself) , but on some cases you should use the “Restart” buton (Guarantee) , if you accidentally
block any windows System file this can cause system crash therefore we have tried to prevent it,after that you
can use the safe mode to unblock the file

If the block does not seem to be work, you may need to restart Windows Explorer. To do so, click the Options
menu, then select “Restart Windows Explorer” or use last icon for registered users. AskAdmin uses a hash
security method, therefore it is useless to change the restricted application`s exe name and try to run it , you can
not break the Restriction with gpedit.msc or anything else.
Block Build-in (UWP) Applications
Metro apps are touch-screen-friendly apps , users call them as Windows Apps , Universal Windows Platform
(UWP) apps or Microsoft Store Apps , for example ; Microsoft EDGE , Calculator , Microsoft sticky notes …
AskAdmin can block any of them.

1. Click , Extras – Block Build-in (UWP) Apps , you can Also block Microsoft store

2. Choose One / Some of the Windows Apps with help of the Ctrl Key and finally press the “Block Selected Items”
Button (At the bottom)
