Win98 offers no solution to this. (It was not
designed as a secure system.) But most
PCs allow you to set up a password in BIOS
(before Win98 starts.)

You would need some type of 3rd party program to accomplish this. Although there are different ways to accomplish this, there is always a possibility that someone with some computer savy can bypass them. One way is to set a password in the bios if the option is available, another is one suggested by George ( a regular poster with the same warnings ):

MVP Doug Knox has a way on his site:
