Security
by fluxit
If you are using windows make use of policies and the various program settings such as disabling macros on open and autosave features. Additionally, some things can be set in the registry only. Most of this is readily available with online support from www.microsoft.com.
Also you can change the menus using the the customize tool bar function.

The current November 2000 www.smartcomputing.com issue
cover story exposes PC rumors - many widely believed - a few true, most not ... one has to do with the reliability of password protection in Win 9x.
The security hole is that when the PC is booting, a savvy user can bypass Windows and boot into DOS instead, which gives them access to all the files on your hard disk,
including those storing the Windows password. It is encrypted but easy to delete, then reboot & establish a
different password that you do not know. Thus, if you want real security on your Win 9x PC, you need to shop around for 3rd party security software.

There are tons of security software out there. Not all are really secure though. In fact, most dos thru win98 stuff is highly vulnerable.
Your best bet is to turn off in bios, if possible, the break key sequences or password them.
you shouldalso present arguments for win nt or 2000.
