hi listers I it possible to lock "my computer" in win98 SE ( by the word "lock " I mean no action when the Icon is clicled). My network is a small one with one Debian GNU/Linux (Potato and Sid) as Domain Controller and two win98 clients. Thanks in advance. M.Balakrishna Pillai
This has nothing to do with samba, you need to make a mandatory profile and put in the users profile directory. Look for "system profile editor" on the win98 cd -----Original Message----- From: M.

I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing this policy file, would you consider posting it or uploading it somewhere and posting a link. Martyn At 08:07 PM 2/27/02 +0530, M.

I reply to save those more qualified time, which can more usefully be spent developing SAMBA further.

These are what I did. 1. login in as default user by pressing -esc- key . 2. Install policy editor (procedure as follows):- Control Pannel -> Add/Remove Programs-> Windows Setup->browse-> [cdrom drive - win98 SE]->tools\reskit\netadmin\poledit\ ->click OK3. Control Pannel->Passwords->user profiles a) selecr - Users can customise......................when you logon b) check Include Desktop............................ c) check Start menu............................ 4. log off and login as a new user a) Start-> Run-> poledit->OK (this will launch System Policy Editor) b) File - > Open Regisry ( Two items Local Comoputer and Local User will appear on the editor window) c)open Local User (another window with two options Windows 98 Network and Windows 98 system) d) open Windows 98 System -> Shell -> Restrictions and check the box left to "Hide drives in my computer" 5. Exit policy edior 9registry for the user will be automatically changed (This can be disabled with other options) 6. logoff and login as the user. (The drives will not be displayed in the My Computer borwser window.) 7. Try other options ( I messed my system once by loging in as default user and disabled the run command ) Wish you all the best M.Balakrishna Pillai
