You can *improve* the miserable default-install "security" a bit. cache of http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1186790880 ++poledit+NoLogon+System.Policy.Editor |[...]TweakUI[...] | UI == User Interface == eye candy / convenience (NOT security) |[...]do I need some other software? | An NT-based OS is marginally better--but the "security" of anything Micros~1 produces can easily be defeated with a bootable Linux CD / thumbdrive. If you are looking for REAL security, you are going to have to break the M$ mindset and get something UNIX-based. (Security-wise, an out-of-the-box Ubuntu Linux install beats anything MSFT ever devised --even after Windoze has been "thoroughly" tweaked.)
