Protect INSTALLATION on WIndows 98

Hi,

sorry but Windows98 just doesn't have that capability. You'd have to remove all CD drives and Floppies and disconnect to the internet (or at least do some very heavy filtering) to achieve your goal.

What you can do, though is monitor what is on the PCs. There is a Microsoft product called Systems Management Server or SMS which has the ability to do software (and hardware) audits on all PCs in your network.

You'd need a server to put it on and I expect its not cheap - although I haven't priced it recently.

Then you'd need to regularly run audits and get the people to uninstall. I think if you let them know that illegal software was grounds for dismissal under the company policy, then you'd find a lot of it dissapearing - especially if you had plans to implement SMS and let everybody know that !

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.

Disable floppy drives from CMOS & put CMOS password.

For CD ROM keep only one PC with responsible user & share it.

These are easy & cheap solutions. In some of the cmos you can disable secondary controller & with CMOS password also.
Goodluck.
