AFAIK this is not possible, since Windows 9x does not provide (real)
user management, permissions and the like. Even if there was a software
doing what you described, it could be easily disabled.
I suggest you rather move on to Linux, Windows 2000 (or XP if you must),
OS X or something like that. Don't waste your time on trying to secure
Windows 9x.
