SECURE YOUR COMPUTER!
(works with Win95/98/Me)

On a stand alone PC, or one that isn't on a network with an NT server, you can now secure your computer from unauthorized users. 

Click here to download mustbevalidated.zip

Save the ZIP file to your hard drive and open it.   Locate mustbevalidated.txt

Open this file in Notepad and print out the instructions.

I strongly recommend that you read through the instructions completely, before attempting this procedure.  It is best to be familiar with them.  It will also give you the chance to consult your computer's manual for any instructions you may need, in advance.

Follow the instructions exactly and you'll have about as secure a computer as you can get in Windows 98.

Note:  If your computer supports it (consult the owner's manual) a BIOS level password is one of the best ways to secure your computer.  This procedure can be used to add further security, since BIOS passwords can be reset.

You may also want to check out this Freeware program, SecureIt Pro from Quantrix Corp. as an alternative means of doing the same thing.
