How much money and experience will I get for writing it?
You could make a simple password program and add the program to your AUTOEXEC.BAT in your C drive. The problem with that is that all you have to do is hit ctrl+break and the program will end and the OS will continue to boot. Probably the best way to protect your system with a password is to set a BIOS password.
I did this a long time ago. The program was basically to mark a time stamp of when the computer was being used, and to keep certain people (non-hackers) from messing on my computer. The time stamp was to record any attempts that were made. It was more of a programming test than anything. I made the program not respond to ctrl+c or ctrl+alt+del, but regardless... it's pretty simple to avoid autoexec.bat from being run on start up. The BIOS password is the way to go, but even that doesn't stop everyone.
Explain this BIOS password thing or tell me to do a search on Google.
Enter BIOS at start-up and look through it to see if it supports passwords.
But creating the program for user verifacation qouldn't be hard but the only problem is that you would need to find a way to halt Windows while your program requested verifacation.
Isn't there a way to set your program to priority?
The autoexec.bat isn't good idea. There are many methods to skip the lines in it. The bios is good, but I think codefx wanted some program to put it at the start of windows - before everything. Like a log in dialog box.
i agree with Munkey01 but the question is how to halt windows??
???
i think if we can disable mouse and keyboard when our window loses
focus.

Greetings,
There is no full-proof method of protecting the access to your PC, if one has phisicall access to it, one can do anything.
BIOS is no good, anyone can break that.
One way of making it hard would be to mess with the boot sector, replace the existing one with your own that loads a password verification program, and if all is well it then continues to load the OS. This is no easy task, but you could search the web for some bootloaders that support password verification thing.
The problem is that since it is win98 it'll be using FAT/FAT32 and anyone with a bootdisk, or by removing the HD from your PC can access the data.
The solution for that would a bootloader that does the password verification and decrypts the FAT/FAT32, and a driver for win98 that would redo the encryption on shutdown (don't even know if this is possible with this OS, but assuming it is).
And even this is breakable...
What about a global hook that scrambles keyboard input until the correct password is entered?
I dont know know about VC++ but in VB++,u can place a char type as * and use the text box as a password verification box.
how can i know when a dialog is losing focus?????
