WHO IS USING YOUR PC?

If you have configured your Windows 98 PC to allow other network users to share folders, there may be times when you want to know who else is accessing your system. For example, you may be running a report on your PC that's taking longer than usual to complete, or you might notice that your hard drive is extremely busy when you're doing nothing more than watching your PC run slowly.

If Net Watcher is installed, you can open it from the System Tools folder of the Start | Programs | Accessories menu (or type netwatch at the command prompt) to reveal exactly who is accessing which files within your shared folders. You even have the ability to disconnect users, although common sense (and courtesy) would encourage you to contact them first, so that none of their work is unnecessarily lost. If Net Watcher isn't installed, you can add it from the Windows Setup tab of the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel.
