AskAdmin supports blocking access and applications, software, files or folders easily with just drag and drop.
This tool supports blocking most files and programs on the computer, such as Microsoft Store, Microsoft EDGE, Google Chrome, Skype, built-in applications (e.g. UWP), CMD files / scripts & BAT, file *.REG….
AskAdmin allows to set a password, so only when you have the password to access the AskAdmin software can you enable/disable the ability to access what you have blocked. It’s very safe, isn’t it?
