Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro - Lockdown Features
Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro adds a new management tool called the
Embedded Lockdown Manager (ELM). This tool can be accessed from the Applications
Name List - Administrative Tools - Embedded Lockdown Manager. A sample of the
Embedded Lockdown Manager screen is shown below.

The ELM can be used to configure the following lockdown features:
Gesture Filter - Prevents undesirable edge and corner gestures.
Dialog Filter - Prevents unwanted pop-up windows and dialog boxes from
appearing on the screen.
Keyboard Filter - Suppresses unwanted key combinations such as
Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Unified Write Filter - Protects physical media from write operations.
USB Filter - Allows only trusted USB devices to connect to the system.
Windows 8 Application Launcher - Enables a single Windows Application to start
automatically.
Currently, the Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Professional images supplied with
Tablet E-Series 8 or E-Series 11 do not implement the Embedded Lockdown Manger.
When started, the ELM detects which lockdown features are enabled on the device, and
displays configuration options for only those features.
The ELM tool can make changes directly to the system registry. Therefore, make
configuration changes at your own risk. We recommend that you validate your changes
in a test environment before deploying in a live environment.

specifically for the Tablet E-Series 11. It features an adjustable locking tray to secure the
Tablet E-Series 11, a pair of LED indicators for status, and the Rotate Button to change the
orientation.
