Recently aquired a free computer from a community college. It has Win95 installed and I'd like to keep it for experimental use, however I can't seem to get any admin privs. Therefore I can't Add/Remove any programs, can't access the start menu, can't double click to access "my computer", and can't even right click on anything. The way they have the system configured you can't use control alt del to access task manager. No login or password is required when the system boots, it just goes straight to this configuration. I have been doing searches online but haven't come accross any answers yet. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. :dizzy:

Can't you get someone at the college to remove the admin privlege?
