Force Users to Logon to Windows (Windows 9x/Me) Popular
Category: Home > Windows > Login and Authentication

Usually users can simply press 'Cancel' at the Windows logon box to bypass the login process and gain access to the local computer. This tweak will logout the user if the authentication fails or the user clicks Cancel.

Like all registry tweaks, this is for advanced users, please do not attempt to try this if you are not confident with the Windows registry and recovering from any subsequent problems.

Firstly, setup your computer for multiple users by using the 'Users' wizard in the Control Panel. Create a new user in addition to any existing users, then restart Windows and login as the new user (this will become your new default account).

While you are logged in open your registry and expand the [HKEY_USERS] key, there should be several sub-folders including ".DEFAULT", "Software" and a folder corresponding to the new username you created above.

Open the key listed below (if the 'Run' key does not already exist then create it), and create a new string value named "NoLogon", and set the value to equal "RUNDLL32 shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 0".

Log-off and now when you login using the new username you should gain access to the desktop, but when you press Cancel or enter the wrong password the desktop should partially load, and then the computer should return to the login screen.

Note: If you have problems with this tweak, press F8 while the "Starting Windows 98..." boot-up message is showing, and select Safe Mode. Then open your registry and delete the "NoLogon" key created above.

Note: Once this tweak has been implemented any subsequent users accounts that are created will inherit the 'NoLogon' value and therefore reboot when they login. To avoid this; when you first create a new user, open the key below for the newly created account name (e.g. [HKEY_USERS\jdoe]) and remove the 'NoLogon' value.

Settings
Key: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run]
Value Name: NoLogon
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

The problem: You have set up several Windows passwords for the users working with your computer. You hope that from now on a user will have to enter a correct user name and password before s/he will be allowed to start working with Windows. This protection, however, can be easily bypassed (unless your computer is connected to a secure network): Anyone can logon to Windows as a new user - simply by typing a new user name at the logon prompt. Or an unauthorized user can just press the Cancel button at the logon prompt and start using the computer as the default user.

Protector Win Ver 3.0 Deluxe
QUOTE

This little program protects your windows enviroment against unwanted users. When running it does not allow anyone access to windows without a password kind of a secure desktop. It also disables the keys on your keyboard so Ctrl Alt Del won't even work. You can choose to have it automatically start when windows starts also so rebooting the system by switching of the power button won't work. Protector Win now captures a picture of your desktop on loading and plays an alarm if the wrong password has been entered three times.

Ever caught someone using your computer without your permission, while you were away for 2 sec!?
Heres the program to solve this problem. Its like Windows NTs lock system, but just for Windows 9x/ME instead.
You simply run the program and your system is locked until the correct password is entered. This program is to be used just like you would use a screensaver with a password on, or of course Windows NTs lock system.
