Robert,
Why not just put a security program like WINSelect or Fortres on your
WIN 3.1, and use Program Manager?

If you plan to continue using Windows 3.1, there used to be a good menuing
program called Direct Access. If you can find a copy ... I don't believe
you can buy a copy from the stores anymore. We *might* have a copy
somewhere that we won't use anymore since all our pc's use Win95 now.
If you are going to upgrade to Win95 or Win98, check out WinU from Bardon.
Their web site is www.bardon.com. We are currently using WinU and find it
very useful in locking down the desktop as well as providing an attractive
menu interface. You can select your own wallpaper, provide inactivity
timeouts for programs so an inactive computer will automatically return to
the main menu screen, and more. Let me know if you would like more info.
