How can I remove windows explorer???

[MrJoe]

Can this be done in Win 98? I really need to prevent someone from using a pc at work from using the net.


thanks

98lite will let you remove Internet Explorer from Windows 98. You can't remove explorer.exe, thats the whole GUI

Install some firewall which asks you a password for internet access.

Windows explorer or Internet explorer?

If you remove explorer.exe Windows will not even boot as explorer.exe is the GUI.

i'm not too familiar with it, but policy editor(poledit.exe) will let you lock a pc down pretty tight. i think this will prevent the use of explorer. if you only want to allow a user to run certain applications & do nothing else, what you could do is write a VB prog to start these apps. then, edit the system.ini file & replace the "shell = explorer.exe" with the name of your VB prog(e.g. shell = appstart.exe). explorer won't even load & your pre-defined apps are all that runs.
