Visual Automation today released version 12 of Secure Desktop. This is an Endpoint Security solution for Windows 10 or 11, Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022. Secure Desktop 12 is a 32-bit application that is 64-bit Windows aware. Secure Desktop information is available at https://visualautomation.com/securedesktop.

Group Policy

In Secure Desktop 7 - 11, configuration data is in the sdesktop.xml file. With Secure Desktop 12, all configuration data is in the registry. Use Secure Desktop Tools or Group Policy to configure Secure Desktop.

Import most configuration data from an existing sdesktop.xml file. Export registry configuration to a TXT file. Import this exported TXT file to the registry on a different machine.

Audit Data Stored in CSV

In Secure Desktop 7 - 11, audit data is in XML files. With Secure Desktop 12, all audit data is either in CSV (comma-separated values) files, the Windows Event Log, or both.

View CSV files using our included sAudit.exe application. Or view using Microsoft Excel or other CSV compatible applications. Storing audit data in both CSV files and the Window Event Log provides redundancy.

Import Icon Information

As with previous versions of Secure Desktop, Secure Desktop 12 can easily import icon information from the Explorer shell, has a window wizard for window manipulation, icons and tabs can be password protected, user activity can be audited and over 400 keyboard shortcuts can be disabled. The included utility package, Secure Utilities 12, provides registry settings and small utilities that are helpful in a Secure Desktop environment.
