I am running 2 machines with Windows Millenium & used publicly and as such we have people changing settings. We have installed a program called Access Monitor which sorts out the changing setting issue, but users can still log off or reboot the machine and just hit escape when asked for password hence allowing them to change settings again. Is there a way around this without installing Windows NT, 2K or XP?

Any help will be appreciated.

I know a company I worked for at one point used a tool from Symantec to control access completely. It worked as a part of Norton Antivirus if I remember right. You may want to research this.

Try System Policy Editor (Run>poledit). I know it's on the 98 CD, possibly on Millenium as well. NT 4 uses it and you can use it on standalone 2000 PC's. (You can set the default desktop to only display START with just the Shutdown option. You can configure much more (eg apps, control panel options as well as each user etc). If you use this, be sure to backup the Reg first.
