Abstract
A method of providing a preconfigured computer system to a user commences with the installation of first and second applications on the computer system. The computer system is then configured to restrict access to the first application by a user, so as to inhibit ready and convenient execution of the first application by the user. However, access to the second application is not restricted, so that this second application can be executed or invoked in a usual and convenient manner. The computer system is then supplied to an end user, with the first and second of applications installed thereon. Responsive to a subsequent request from the user, the restrictions on the access to the first application are removed so as not to inhibit the execution of the first application by the user.
