| Guys, do any of you know of some kind of software that I can install on a 95/98 machine that will keep some of my users from installing software, unless they know of a password or something? Im looking for something that will keep my machines clean of crap that people tend to put on them. Any ideas??? Thanks. | |

| What about trying password protection, as I don think this can be accomplished in Win 95/98 OS as it doesn't support NTFS file system. | |

| Look into a product called Deep Freeze, that's what we use here.
Just looked up - this is their website:

| I was just going to recommend that too! 
We also use Deep Freeze... Works great. Prevents users from doing anything (Adding software, editing registry, viruses) that could take down the PC. Works good in schools & retail display PC's too. | |

| Wow we must have a strong aura going today, I was going to recommend Deep Freeze as well  | |

| Guys, will this work in a networked environment? | |

| I work for a school district of almost over 100 sites (meaning building). I am not in the group implementing this, but I know all the school machines have Deep Freeze on it, as well as some training labs. We are definitely in a networked environment, I think it's about 20,000 machines. | |

Of course it will! That's where I use it the most. | |

| You can set up Win 98 as a client for Microsoft networks which will optionally require a password. To protect from remote installations then making your network shares read only may or may not work - but it is good practice to do this anyway because it stops illicit overwriting and network virus spread. You can also password protect a screensaver. It is so long since I use Win 95 that I don't presume to comment. However, if you need a lot of protection then maybe 3rd party software is the way to go. You can use IEAK, which is a free download from Microsoft to clamp down Internet Explorer, it may well be worth checking the Microsoft site before considering purchases. |
