Functionality that allows you to set limits on unwanted client actions during a gaming session.
Hidden Disks
Specify disks that will not be available to the client for direct opening and from game launchers. We recommend setting the restriction only for the C:\ drive.
External Drives
If this setting is enabled, guests will not be able to access files on their personal external drives (hard disks, thumb drives, and phones). If your customers use shooter configurations frequently, ask them to upload files to cloud storage to check for harmful files. External drives are worth limiting.
Downloading Files
When enabled, users will not be able to download files from Google Chrome in the Shell.
Blocking
The setting allows you to set a ban on opening unwanted windows (these can be browser search queries, Windows Explorer, or applications).
How to set up blocking
Specify the name and/or class of the window that you want to force to expire to prevent clients from accessing unauthorized sites or important settings. The window name is the title of the site displayed in the tab, if you want to restrict multiple sites at once with the same request, add an * at the beginning and end of the request.
In the screenshot, 3 different sites have a common query SmartShell.
Then for blocking you need to add:
A window class is a set of attributes that the system uses as a template to create a window.
There are a large number of programs to determine the window class and name (for example: Au3info from the creators of the AutoIt scripting language).

Templates that we most often recommend:
Title | Class | What does it limit? |
---|---|---|
Leave it blank | CabinetWClass | Opening Windows Explorer Windows |
*cmd* | ConsoleWindowClass | Blocking the command line (and Windows PowerShell) |
Leave it blank | #32770 | Open\Save file Windows Attention! PUBG Launcher will stop running. |
*Microsoft Edge | Leave it blank |
Blocking browser opening |
*Content of C:/* | Leave it blank | Blocks opening the C:\ drive with a workaround |
