Is there any way to regulate the programs and system files a user might access? We have a stand alone computer, not on a network, used by numerous employees. We only want them to be able to use certain programs and files. Is this possible with outspecial software?

There are lots of kludges that don't work very well... Your best bet is to upgrade to WinNT Workstation or Win2000.

You can create separate desktops for each signon in Win95, hiding icons from some, and adding them to others, but if the user wants to use them, he/she can easily use Explorer to start the apps.
