Is it possible to lockout unauthorized user
during boot up, with Win98se? I know you can
password lock your screen saver. On W2k the
cancel button is greyed out, allowing user
name and password or your not getting in.
Is this possible with Win98 and Client for
Microsoft Networks? Iv'e tried Poledit, but
I did not see this option. Any Advice??

Usually users can simply press 'Cancel' at the Windows logon box to bypass the login process and gain access to the local computer. This tweak will logout the user if the authentication fails or the user clicks Cancel.
