Windows 98 wasn't designed for that type of security. The login
simply identifies a user to select personalized settings for desktop,
documents, Favorites, etc.

Here are two ways to prevent casual users from bypassing the logon.
Users with some advanced Windows knowledge can defeat them, although
#2 is much harder to defeat than #1.

1. When the logon is canceled, Windows actually logs the user on as
the "default" user. You can configure the default user to be
immediately logged off, causing the logon prompt to return:

2. Doug Knox has developed a procedure which requires a valid logon:

Click "Security" and then click "Prevent Unauthorized Users from
accessing your computer". Be sure to follow the steps exactly as
documented.

Here are several methods which can prevent casual users from bypassing
the
logon. Users with some advanced Windows knowledge can defeat them,
although
#2 is much harder to defeat than #1.

1. When the logon is canceled, Windows actually logs the user on as

"default" user. You can configure the default user to be immediately
logged
off, causing the logon prompt to return:

You can do this by creating a local user policy using POLEDIT.

Be careful with this one! If you don't do it right, you can be locked
out of your computer, with no way to complete the login and no way to
cancel it.

For instructions on how to do it right:

1. Go to http://www.dougknox.com

2. Click "Security".

3. Click "Prevent Unauthorized Users from accessing your computer".

4. Follow the steps exactly as documented.

Except by booting into safe mode and removing (or changing) the value.

Right. But some people don't know about Safe mode.
