Win98 Help

[Gavin]

Hello all.

I have multiple PCs that are running windows 98 and need a
way to secure the image. Currently, students are using the
computers and installing various software and pictures. I
need to know how I can prevent students from making any
changes. I have used Deep Freeze on other Win98 PCs and it
works great, but the software price is not feasible for my
client. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

It's a lost cause on Windows 98. If it's causing a problem and costing you
money, you have a business case to upgrade to an OS where users can't do
this stuff.

You can implement mandatory user profiles. This should give you some control
over users desktops.

For a more robust desktop lockdown framework, you should explore upgrading
to Windows 2000 Pro with Active Directory on the backend.
