Look at a program called PC-LOCK.  It's shareware .. available on Simtel20
I believe under sysutl.  I have seen it and it has *good* protection.  Mods
the boot sector so when you boot off a floppy, you can't see the hard drive
and can't change to it.  It has to boot from the hard drive to access it
properly, and once it does that, you can't get out of the programs in
config.sys which contain the security things.  As well, the newer version 
has multiple users, and allows you to give access to these people but 
restricting them to certain programs in the autoexec and not allowing htem
to shell out to dos if you so desire.  Looks impressive, but I havne't played
with the new features, as I have no use for it at this time.
Hope that helps.
Dan.
