Unfortunately, not everyone's system, or PC experience, is the same as the
rest of us, and if one should run into problems, they're buggered unless
they can find someone such as yourself, thats actually used the program
before, as the developers aren't supporting it (atleast, thats the
impression I got).

Scared has nothing to do with it. I mentioned going to W2000 instead as it
has support for multi-users etc, built in, along with better security
features.

Then child learns just how easy it is to bypass that, then kaboom... parent
realizes setting it up was completely pointless.

Didn't hear anything so far about it being tested, did now, so I guess the
program a solution for the original poster.
And I personally have no need for the program and I'm definitely not
considering changing away from win98SE, well, maybe to Linux someday.

WinXP does just as good a job as long as you remember to change the
kids account to a standard user one and password yours.

A simple version of Program Manager which allows access to a limited number
of programs. Works with Windows 3.1 and 95.

Note by this poster that it *WILL* work with NT ME 98 2K and XP as well
(I've tried it).
