                    SCREEN VEIL - DOUBLE-CLICK AND GO
                  (Windows - one page, keep with the tool)
=====================================================================

Screen Veil covers your screen with a privacy veil while your
computer session stays alive underneath - so Muse keeps working
with your browser while nobody at the laptop can see or touch
anything. It is a privacy veil, not the Windows lock.

BEFORE YOU START - THE ONE THING THAT MATTERS
  Unzip the WHOLE zip file first (step 2 below). Screen Veil will
  not work from inside the zip preview window.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
  HOW TO LOCK YOUR SCREEN
---------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. Find the zip file you were given (for example in Downloads).

  2. Right-click the zip file and choose "Extract All..." - then
     click "Extract". A new folder called "ScreenVeil" appears.
     Open it. (If Windows asks about blocked files, extract first -
     never run anything from inside the zip.)

  3. Inside the "ScreenVeil" folder, double-click:

            >>>   Screen-Veil.bat   <<<

     That is the only file you ever need to double-click.

  4. A black window opens. The FIRST time only, it asks you to
     SET THE ADMIN PASSWORD for the login "Meeyahkah":

       - Type a password of at least 8 characters, press Enter.
       - Type the SAME password again, press Enter.
       - The letters do NOT show while you type. That is normal.
       - There is NO default password. If you skip this, the
         veil will not lock - run Screen-Veil.bat again.
       - REMEMBER this password. It is how you unlock.

     (Windows may pop up "Windows protected your PC" for an
     unsigned tool like this. That warning is expected for now:
     click "More info", then "Run anyway".)

  5. The veil covers the whole screen. It shows "Screen Veil"
     and "Admin login - Meeyahkah". Your session keeps running
     underneath. LEAVE THE BLACK WINDOW OPEN - if you close it,
     the veil stops.

  Done - you can walk away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
  HOW TO UNLOCK
---------------------------------------------------------------------

  - On the laptop: click the password box, type YOUR admin
    password, press Enter. The veil lifts at once.
  - Or ask Muse: "unlock my screen." Muse can lift the veil
    remotely (you must give Muse the IPC secret once - the
    manual, section 3B, explains how, step by step).
  - Wrong password 5 times? The screen makes you wait (30
    seconds, then longer). The right password still works
    after the wait, and Muse's remote unlock works too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
  CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD
---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Double-click "Change-Password.bat" in the same folder. Type
  the CURRENT password, then the new one twice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
  HONEST LIMITS (short version - full list is in the manual)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

  - Ctrl+Alt+Del always reaches the Windows secure screen - no
    app can block it. The veil covers the screen again when you
    come back from it.
  - If the veil ever fails badly, it locks Windows properly
    (the normal sign-in screen) instead of leaving you exposed.
  - The tool is not signed yet, so Windows warns once at first
    run (step 4 above).
  - Screen Veil keeps your session alive while Muse works.
    If you leave the laptop unattended for a long time, the
    normal Windows lock (Windows key + L) is still the safer
    choice.

  Problems? The manual (docs/user-guide.md in the project, or
  manual\user-guide.md inside this folder) has an "If it fails"
  section for every problem we know about.
