Under win9x, the only way of restricting access to your PC would be to use a BIOS password.
Bear in mind however that anyone with technical knowledge who can open the case could potentially wipe this setting by removing the internal battery.
If it is really that important to you then you may consider fitting a physical device to prevent access to the case.
Also remember that if your hard drive is removed it can be put into any other PC and the data will be able to be accessed.
If your data is really that sensitive, upgrade to 2000 / XP, these have facilities to encrypt files. Once you have encrypted a file, only you can access it with your password. The more complex your password, the more secure your files will be.
