Limit the controlpanel...
How do I limit the possibility to normal users to change in the controlpanel AND MOST IMPORTANT: how do I unlock this sence I've got looked out my self and don't whant to or even don't have the possibility to reinstall my system.
Why don't you just educate the normal users rather than prohibiting them and then you don't have to worry about it?

OK Good comment but older kids does what they want and that is one way of learning... but I need to get back in becouse they didn't now haw they did. Atleast that what I've been told by them. And if that story is true or not isn't important. It is how to get back the control now... Right...
Sorry for my English!?

I've can't find LockUp.zip!? And still I want to unlock it NOT lock it..... and don´t now what they have used...
OK, I'm guilty again of not reading, or understanding your post.
How far can you get. Must you have a password to boot??
or is it something just related to Control Panel.
I thought you wanted to prevent_them_ from locking you out via

NO they have allredy locked me out.
It isn't a bootpassword or someting like that, No!
Some how I can't access some parts of the Control Panel. I can't change resulution in what ever that thing is called in the English version...? I gess I have to login as Administrator and then I can change but how do I do that witha out the password or how do I get it...(not from the kids...;-))...
It looks like it works very similar to Fortrans but it doesn't look like that, becouse ther isn't any such directory. And if it had been Fortans you only have to boot in "Safe....." just press F8 when Win95 is starting.
ATTENTION: I get the messages: The Administrator have locked this function. or someting like that...!

So, you have a profile setup using
"User Profiles or System Policies"??
In your registry at HKEY_USERS, what keys are under that when
you expand it.??
And do you normally have a user name and password window come up
before 95 enters windows??

System policies can be used to enforce system configuration.
You can restrict what users are allowed to do from the
desktop and what they are allowed to configure using
Control Panel. Also, you can use system policies to
centrally configure network settings, such as the
network client configuration options and the ability
to install or configure File and Printer Sharing services.
Finally, policies can be used to customize certain parts
of the desktop, such as Network Neighborhood or the Programs folder.

Yes I've a "user name and password window" comming up before Win95 starts.
I can't at the moment look in which key the HKEY_USERS are under, but I will be back with that on Monday round 1600 local time (sweden).
I don't think I have any thing that looks like "System policies" not evan in my machin that I work now in...very strange. Maybe, can you change your password there and turn on the use of userprofiles.
Oh.. I have forgott one thing we have a small Novell 4.11 network. And you have to log in to that. If you don't Win95 doesn't start. But I don't think this have any thing to do with it becouse the same problem is still there evan if you are boot by pressing F8 and booting in "Safe position" an exact translation but the name in the English/Amarican version is probebly different. If I don't remember wrong it's the second chose. Without network.
Thank you for your help so far...

How many are on your network, and who is the network Administrator?

Systems Policies, as you've pound out Poledit is where you set the policies.
