How do you do set local file system permissions with Win9x?

AFAIK they use the FAT file system and don't have the facility. When I said there is no security I meant it literally.

You can toughen up the initial access security by removing or disabling the diskette drive and CD-ROM drive so they cannot boot from these, and you can change the logon security so they must boot off the network.

However, once they have logged on there is no local file security. If you have Win9x machines you need to accept that you will have to audit them regularly and be prepared to rebuild quickly.
