Overview of System Policies for Computers

You can use System Policy Editor to define settings for a default computer or for specific named computers. The default computer settings are used when a new user logs on to a computer that does not have individual policies assigned.

Computer settings in system policies prevent users from modifying the hardware and environment settings for the operating system, ensuring that Windows 95 starts up in a predictable way. You can set options to restrict access to computer-specific system and network features, as described in "System Policy Settings Summary" later in this chapter.
