I didn't think that my simple question would start a long discussion here.
I'm overwhelmed with all the help you guys have given. Thanks a lot.

We have a computing lab that it basically open to the public (i.e.
student population) and we use a product called "DeepFreeze".

You can get it here - http://www.deepfreezeusa.com/

Basically, you end users can do anything they want to the machine
including format the hard drive ....UNTIIL they reboot in which case
it is all back like you wanted.

That might be a bit more draconian than the solution you were looking
for, but then again, it might not.  Now that 98 is EOL'd, what they
are going to do - run Windows Update????

HTH,

Jimi

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a software that you can install on
MS Windows 95/98/Me Machines that won't
allow an ordinary user to install any programs or
allow any virus to infect any files.
Would anybody know what they call these programs
and where to get them? Any kind of help will be
appreciated.
