windows98 was never meant to be a corporate orientated dekstop
internetworking OS, it was meant to be a home user platform or very small
offices, as was never meant to be secure. The abillity to control single
point admin control and contain users and access rights is not available
without permission orientated file systems and this is not attainable
without re-writing or (scrapping '') win9* . youre not the first to go down
this road its been an epic veture since win95 escaped, you can use win9*
policy editor to control desktop exploration and customisation but its along
haul even with a DC environment and even then people can get around your
hard work by rebooting or pressing esc.
best fixes: NT, or WINE & SMB on a linux system
checkout www.sysinternals.com and the likes of;
good luck :)

Subject: Windows 98 lockdown
I hope this would be the right place to post this. I've
tried numerous attempts and combinations of Google
searches but hopefully this group will provide me with
some better answers.
I am looking for software that will enable me to
lockdown Windows 98 desktops so that there is no
start button, no right click on the desktop, only allow
certain programs to be run (the shortcuts would be
on the desktop), no deleting of those icons on the
desktop, no loading or downloading of software, using
a web browser only to valid http https or ftp sites in
the address.
Any suggestions?
