Password Protection!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to create a startup password for win 98se and I wanted to try the following but I couldn't figure out what a .scr file was and couldn't figure out how to right-drag to create a shortcut to the startup folder. Please help!!! Thanks.

Since this password protection is far from adequate, here's a work-around: First, make sure your system discourages tampering when it is running and you're away from your desk. Choose Start, Settings, Control Panel. Double-click Display and then click the Screen Saver tab. Make a selection from the Screen Saver drop-down list, and click Settings. Check "Password protected" and click Change. Enter a new password in each box and click OK. Then locate the .scr file corresponding to your chosen screen saver, right-drag it to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder (your path may differ), and choose Create Shortcut(s) Here. The next time you start Windows, the screen saver will start and prompt you for a password.

 

.scr files are executable screen saver files, usually found in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System. Each screen saver in Display Properties > Screen Saver has a corresponding .scr file.

I've never heard of that approach to password protecting 98, but it wouldn't take much to bypass since security is not a priority in 9x...

You'd be better off with a freeware program like SecureIt Pro available here:
