There are a number of PC Security systems on the market.  Some of
these not only enforce a login, but protect the hard disk from
access by anyone who has not logged in, even if they reboot the
system from a floppy!  Watchdog(tm) is one such package.  Check out
PC Magazine's back pages for advertisements.

Westmark includes such a capability in our MONEY-ROOM(tm) package (an
MS-DOS based banking application) but it is tied to the menuing
system and the application database.  I don't know if it's available
separately.
