Ability to Lock Down DesktopX

for Security Purposes

from Stardock Forums
Is it possible to lock down DesktopX so that it cannot install additional widgets?

Hypothetical situation...

a business wants to deply DesktopX to its user base with only one widget. They do not want "normal" users to have the ability to add additional widgets and hog up resources, etc. Is this possible with the current version or can it be implemented with minimal effort?

Thanks.

This was possible a while back (DX2?) if you created a desktop.
This link (https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/purchase.asp) describes DX Enterprise edition (<500 users) thusly:

DesktopX Enterprise has all the features of DesktopX Pro plus it supports Windows 2000/XP security features enabling for the creation of secure, unattended desktop creation.


It looks like Stardock has stripped out that functionality from the client/builder I have. That stinks. I HATE losing features (even if I don't use them that often and forgot they were there.

I did find this though (https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/infoguide.asp) :

Desktop themes - DesktopX can also build entire desktops that can be secured (kiosks, OEM systems, custom desktop experiences, etc.). Example of a DesktopX theme in action: Screenshot.


So I could be wrong.
