As long as you're not networked:
Try | Start | Settings | Control Panel | Passwords.

The 'old password' is blank. Leave it blank, and enter your password in the 'new' boxes.

Click OK. Next time you start up, you should be prompted to enter the password.

Hope this works OK.

Just setting up a windows logon will not restrict the use of the pc. You could setup a password in the bios, this will stop the use of the computer without a password. You could also use poledit(policy editor) to restrict access to the operating system in win 95 win 98 machines. You can even tailor it to what you want certain users to access. You will find it on the windows cd.
