STRAT Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 you can go in but your profile wont be loaded, which would contain all your personal settings and securities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaz Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 but the unregistered users can browse the local drive. i only want the registered user to access certain folder, you know. like the way win 2k did. so, i'm not sure this win 98 can do that or not. i meant more than personalize the desktop. anyway strat thanks for your quick reply, if you can help me further.

blaz Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 or at least protect the main access, meaning only registered user can log in, the unregistered will stuck at the login windows.(or shut down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 see what you mean. on a side line, you can always right-click on a folder and limit user access rights that way.

Greg Hess Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Blaz, The most effective system is just purchasing a 3rd party solution which makes 98 a semi-secure OS. A cheaper solution would be to just upgrade to windows 2000. Do note, that windows 98 is NOT A SECURE OPERATING SYSTEM. There are many vulnerabilities and security flaws contained within it that were never fully addressed by microsoft because its considered a "consumer" OS, and thus those features were never necessary. I'd recommend getting 98 off the machine and putting 2k on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaz Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hi, i'm not sure i can brought this topic in this forum? if I can, just want to ask anybody understand the min98 password, any way to use the PW, cause i add in the users inside but when you log-in you still can use the "esc" button to go in. Is it the way it works? or there is a setting behind. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaz Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 ya, I can understand this 98 is not a secure OS, like the other family, actually I already have in mind to upgrade to 98, cause of some of the account software (that's why the boss request to be passworded, all the money things inside )can only run in 98 (old dos software), I have to check with the distributor whether this software can run in 2k or I need to upgrade the software as well. strat, that's the way my account did, she passworded every files she did, cause i can't do a security option in the folder properties. anyway, thanks for your reply and suggest. I'll look forward to upgrade the OS. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
