I pulled this from... http://www.itso.iu.edu/howto/win-security/steps/#passwords Restricting Logon Access Within Windows 98, you can modify the registry to disable the AutoAdminLogon in Winlogon so that Windows 98 will not automatically log the user onto the workstation without any credentials. To start regedit, go to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AutoAdminLogon. Set the string value entry to 0 to disable automatic logon.
