Changing the graphic when locking a Student

A default graphic is displayed on a Student's screen when you lock a Student's keyboard and mouse. This image can be changed if required.

The image can be changed by replacing the nss_lock_image file in C:\Program Files\NetSupport\NetSupport School or using the Student Configurator to select an alternative file.

To change the graphic

  1. In the Student Configurator, select Advanced.

  2. The Image File field shows the default file.

  3. Click Browse to select an alternative file.

  4. The Image File field shows the new file.

  5. Click OK.

Notes:

  • If you view a locked Student, the display graphic is not shown on the Student screen.

  • If an image file cannot be located on the Student machine, a flashing message 'This machine has been locked by the control user' is displayed on the Student screen.

  • If you would like to display an image file that is not available on Student machines, use the NetSupport School Deploy function to deploy a Configurator setting to all connected Student machines.
