Prevent my own files in Win98

Hi

It could depend on your network. But you could
try PolEdit (policy editor) Microsoft

1. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, click the Windows Setup tab, and then click Have Disk.
2. In the Install From Disk dialog box, click Browse and specify the Netadmin\Poledit directory on the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit compact disc.
3. Click OK, and then click OK again in response to the dialog boxes.
4. In the Have Disk dialog box, select the System Policy Editor check box, and then click Install.

Not 100% sure but you should be able to set yourself up to be Admins on your PC and then restric access from your network.

Be advised if you have a System/Network Administrator at your place of work you may wellupset them by doing this. Again it will all depend upon your network etc

Good luck

With all due respect, you can't do what you're asking. Windows 9X like ALL dos based operating systems can NOT secure files or folders, and to be honest there is no 100% way to do this. There are several software apps (available @ www.cnet.com) that purport to do what you're asking but I have to be honest with you ALL of them are very easy to defeat.

As Win98 does not provide any file security
you need additional software to achieve what you want.
Use a search engine and look for:
