I have heard that you can force a user to login to a domain/workgroup in
win 95/98, that it is just a matter of fixing a registry setting.
unfortunately, I do not know which registry setting.  If you can afford to
experiment on one of your win95/98 boxes I would definitely suggest trying
the binary modification mentioned earlier by Mr. Carter.
