I have a desktop running windows 98se. Is there any way to keep somebody
else in the house from using the computer, such as a hard drive password or
other password setup?

Just don't loose the password, a good tech can re-set it but it may
cost something like $300. Bios passwords aren't that easy to by-pass.
