What's a good peice of software to lock down a Windows 9x machine?

[Genius]

These people who work with me are starting to mess things up so I need to lock it down now. I thought they could all handle it themselves but apparently they have no common sense and love to trash the hard drives with useless garbage. Urgh!

Search Hotfiles. They have alot of good programs.

You can use profiles, if you have an NT server..

If you need to be able to lock up a Win95 standalone desktop tight you might try FullControl from Bardon Data Systems.

It's a bit pricey, but I use it to control access to Windows 95 and NT4 PCs which are used on a production floor as the controllers for binderies and industrial inkjet printers. The NT4 machines could be protected fairly easily by a decent support group, but in this case setting up security (and duplicating security setups among standalone and networked machines) had to be something that non-IT people could do. This software made all of that very easy to arrange for about $72 per seat.

The security this software provides on a Win95 system, when coupled with a startup password and preferential boot from hard drive enabled in BIOS makes that system as difficult to crack as a tight NT4 system. Not too shabby.
