-Is there a way to restrict users from changing the system date on Windows 95?

-Is it a good idea to use win95 instead of NT on workstations at all?

-Can I restrict it in NT.

-How about a third party product, I remember seeing some programs that restricted acces to the Control Panel in some display PC's at stores, still, people could insert a package in WordPad and run a DOS prompt.

I've had users changing the system date, making my app do funky things, they usually don't do it with bad intentions, but they could.

I have a bunch of other security concerns because in this particular system the file server is a win98 machine, anyone can see the app's folder, and could just delete the system if they felt like it!!!!!.

Is it possible to hide a given folder while making it accessible to an application, that is not client-server?. I thought of giving the folder in which the app is, a share name like NOONEWILLTHINKOFTHIS$, so it's invisible unless you now the share name, and have my app now this name and access it's data thtough it, what do you all think?, TIA
