Simplex: In this communication style data can send only and basically it is one way or uni-direction communication. This type of communication is not widely used for transmit trusted data because it can not send any error or control signal to sender terminal. This style of communication is vastly used in Radio and TV where we can see and hear or receive data only but we can not send any information data by the same channel.

We can limit the user from this feature. Here I show steps how we can control user access in windows operating systems. Steps to follow:- 1. Go to "Start menu" an
