win 98 settings
I seem to remember that there is a way of stopping users from changing there screen settings, layout of toolobars etc. But YES I've forgotten how to do it?
Does anyone remember?

Find "poledit.exe" on the win98-CD and run it.
It may be - D:\admin\apptools\poledit.exe

I tried the poledit.exe command but it appaers to be looking for a networked PC. Is there a way to stop changes somewhere else.
