How to disable the CANCEL button on the Windows Me/98/95 login window:
(NOTE: This page applies to the DOS-based versions of Windows only, namely Windows 95,98, and ME. The NT-based editions such as Windows XP and 2000 do not have this problem.)
The problem: You have set up several Windows passwords for the users working with your computer. You hope that from now on a user will have to enter a correct user name and password before s/he will be allowed to start working with Windows. This protection, however, can be easily bypassed: an unauthorized user can just press the Cancel button at the logon prompt and start using the computer as the "default" user.
With the Monitor user logon feature of Folder Guard Classic Edition, you can solve this problem by configuring it to disable the CANCEL button on the login window.
First, run Folder Guard, choose the File - Settings command from the menu, and select the Protection page. Make sure that the Enable protection at Windows startup and Monitor user logon options are checked:
Now click on the Options button next to Monitor user logon to display the Logon monitoring options window:
If you want to just disable the Cancel button on the Windows logon prompt, then check the No Default user option in the Default user area.
Or, if you want to be able to use the Cancel button sometimes yourself, but stop other users from pressing it, you may want to protect the button with a password. To do that, clear the No Default user option in the Default user area, and check the Ask password option instead. Then click on the Password button and enter a password of your choice.
While you are setting up these options, you may also want to check the Validate user name option as well, to prevent users from creating new user accounts by entering new user names into the login box.
Finally, enable the protection, as usual (see the How to hide a folder page for the details), and from now on, the Cancel button on the Windows login box would be either disabled, or it would work only after you have entered the correct password that you have set up above:
