Forced Login in Win9x

TRAiNER4

I can't seem to figure out how to force users to login into windows 9x. I don't want anyone to break into my laptop by pressing Esc or pressing cancel. Is there something that will enable this?

Use Windows Networking login and check the box in the properties.

Q

There is a way I remember, you have to make users and add the logoff command to the default user, or something like that. I forget the exact process.

The user and all related content has been deleted.

You don't have to login on 9x at all, you can press cancel on logon screen and skip logon procedure...
Even Calmira is more secure this way...

there is a way, its called rm window box or something, my primary school used it, you HAD to have a password to use windows, workd with 3.1 if i remember right

Perhaps in a logon script? If they try to cancel, run a logon script that logs them off...but I don't think you can run one of those without logging on...maybe set a program to run that logs them off when the default user (or none) gets to the desktop?

it was a really customised version of 98, like there was no cancel button, the whole thing looked like an NT logon screen....

im lookin on google now

Q

It sounds like something that would come as an "Extra" for corporate users along with something like Directory Svcs clients for 9x. It could be a 3rdparty thing too though

Theres an option in the network settings if you select the domain logon. And you can logon using local users if you don't put in a domain.

I think that unofficial SP2 for Win98 fixes some logon issues.
