Tired of other people messing with your computer? The System Policy Editor, located on the Windows 95 installation CD, allows you to set up restrictions, such as locking people out of the Display Properties dialog box or your Registry. While designed for network administrators, the Policy Editor works on non-networked systems as well.

To access the System Policy Editor, navigate your way to ADMIN\APPTOOLS\POLEDIT (on the Windows 95 installation CD) and double-click POLEDIT.EXE. Select Open Registry under the File menu, then double-click the Local User icon.

You'll need to access this tool off the installation CD every time you want to set or deselect restrictions -- that is, unless you install the System Policy Editor on your hard drive. (Note: You'll only want to do this if the people you're protecting yourself against won't know how to undo your restrictions!)

To install the System Policy Editor, with the Windows 95 installation CD in your CD-ROM drive, Open the Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs. On the Windows Setup tab, click the Have Disk button, then click Browse and navigate your way to ?:\ADMIN\APPTOOLS\POLEDIT, where ? is your CD-ROM drive. Click OK twice, then in the Have Disk dialog box, select Group policies and System Policy Editor. Click Install, then OK.
