I don't know how secure you can make a computer like this Rel. Obviously you've looked at modifying the registry.
On an old computer pre-windows I would have suggested adding your file to autoexec.bat and making it run in the dos prompt.Now I don't know what to suggest as if your computers have floppy drives, it's easy to just stick a boot disk in there and bypass it.
As for modifying the registry to get this to work my best guess would be that Jim will probably know how to do it.

You will need to disable ALT+TAB either

If it's getting one of your programs to work on booting up Windows; what I think you need to do is create a batch file that points to the program and add it to your start up folder. Never tried this before, but I think it's the way to go about it. If it's not im sure the other dudes who might know, will reply with the right way forward with this.

Have you tried looking in the Windows98 Help?

Cheers and hope my writting is of some use to you dude,
Clyde.

Thanks guys!

Works now.

voodooattack helped me with the registry stuff and I used yetifoot's bin2bas with lzw to make the bas files smaller. :*)

Download the stuff...
passregister registers your exe to startup.
passcheck checks if it's in the registry.
passremove to remove the pasword from startup.

Or you could just run pasword.exe to see the demo.
