Profile/Policy on peer or standalone PC

hello, we need to know what operating system you have chosen. If it is NT or W2K the answer lies on a disk called NT Resources or W2K Resources. If you are in a business or school the SA (system Admin) should have these.
let us know more about your system..........

The computers in question are Win 98 and 98 SE.

To fill you in more fully, my main problem is a peer to peer network of Win 98 machines, on which I want to lock kids out of control panels and things like that.

The documentation for the policy editor on the Win 98 cd seems to suggest that this can be done with stand alone PCs, and some of the discussions on this web site state explicitly that it can, but neither give instruction on how to do so.

I have figured out how to use the policy editor, but I can't find where to put the Config.pol if there is no network logon.

Note: To use system policies, user profiles must be enabled and System Policy Editor must be installed.

Another way, is to buy a small utility that allows you to password protect important portions of the system. These are very cost-effective. I myself use one of them (I am in charge of maintaining a few identical PCs runiing a w98 p2p with preset drive mapping etc.)

You could try "www.easytools.com" and look for their software called "regdesk". There's also a demo version.

If you come across any other such stuff, please tell me.

Hope this helps.

System Policy editor may be saved and run from a floppy disk, I have done this many times for restristing applications on desktop and other city policies be sure to add the programs which you may allow and keep the POLEDIT.EXE program on the a:/POLEDIT.exe and not on the users computer system as they will figure out how to edit thier own files.
