Restricting Logon Access in Win XP

If you work in a multiuser computing environment, and you have full (administrator level) access to your computer, you might want to restrict unauthorized access (as guest) to your "sensitive" files under Windows 95/98. One way is to disable the Cancel button in the Logon dialog box.
Just run Regedit and goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Network/Logon

Create the "Logon" subkey if it do not exist already on your machine:
highlight the Network key => right click in the left hand Regedit pane =>select New => Key=> name it "Logon" (no quotes) => press Enter.
Then add/modify a DWORD value and call it "MustBeValidated" (don't type the quotes). Double-click it, check the Decimal box and type 1 for value.
Now click the Start
button => Shut Down=> Log on as a different user, and you'll notice that the Logon Cancel button has been disabled.
Thus no guests are allowed anymore
