Windows 95 had no security model. There are no "system-level privileges" in Windows 95. If you could execute any code on the machine you "owned" it. There were some contrivances in the shell to attempt to limit user access, but nothing serious like the security architecture of Windows NT.
- antoncohen 14y agoYou are correct that Windows 95 did not have the security model of NT, but administrators could limit what users were allowed to do in the Windows shell. If I logged in with my user account I could not play the game I wanted to play.

- mganon 14y agoBecause of the absence of an underlying security model, this very often did not work properly, i.e. you could workaround pretty much every kind of "restriction" on Windows 9x by smart mouse and keyboard only moves.
