I have setup 4 PCs for use by my company to access the internet.
users keep changing the telephone numbers in dial up networking to call their own ISPs.
is there anyway I can stop this?

There's a program that allows you to change the Win9x settings by hidding some of its programs, example the icon of dial-up networking under My Computer.
Download the "Win98 Tweak 1.2" at www.download.com.
Well, just to make sure, don't tell them that you install the Tweak program. =)
...have you tried telling them that making such changes is not allowed?
I presume that the computers you have set up are for business usage only. If that's the case, and you have policies in place that forbid the use of company equipment for non-business purposes, remind them of the policy. You can "Tweak" the GUI (as was mentioned earlier - very cool :) but it might save you and your company time to communicate with the users in this way.

There is another way to stop tampering with desktop settings and other thing such as internet access. This is the Policy Editor which is found on the Win 95/98 CDs in the ADmin/apptools/poledit directory with sample policies being found in the admin/reskit/samples/policies directory.
you can download more policy templates from the web just do a search for the win 95/98 reskit.
The thing about this program that it can edit the registry and sheild you form all the confusing settings that are inthe registry.
And once done you can unistall the program off the drive and the settings will remain.
You could of course install the poleedit to a floppy disk and keep the disk somewhere safe.
This Program is a lot more powerful than tweak as well. And is not that well known to the average computer user and then they have to know where the program is to undo what has been done.
