I am a programmer working for a small company and was asked if I could make sure all users login or have no access to network. All clients are running 95/98. I have noticed if they click cancel they can still use the T1 connection out and some network resources. They also asked me to find a way to restrict access to such items as the control panel, clock, background, Add/Remove Hardware and Software. I know this is not something that can be done easily. I would just be very grateful to be pointed in the right direction. If it helps there is a PDC/BDC and the network uses DHCP.

Thank you for any help,
Carl

Be prepared for a headache.

Also, supposedly the following registry modifcation will prevent users from canceling the network logon (although I've never tried it)
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\
Create a DWORD key of MustBeValidated (DWORD=1 to force logon or can't use Windows, and DWORD=0 to allow use of windows and bypass the logon screen)

Be aware that Safe Mode bypasses logon.
