to prevent this add the following to MSDOS.SYS under the [Options] section. BootSafe=0 BootKeys=0 BootWarn=0 AutoScan=0 Network=1 (if you have networking enabled) while this does tend to stop most of the general populace from bypassing the restrictions in effect - it still doesnt stop someone booting off a disk, you could use a bios setting to boot from C before A (if your bios supports it), hence bypassing this as well - yet, the fact still remains, dos is never 100% secure, all someone would need to do is gain write access to the c:\msdos.sys file which shouldnt be a hard thing to do given a bit of time :) -- Steve.
