If you don't mind for people booting your PC with MSDOS 5.0,
editing the disk and changing the line in config.sys that says
DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\LOGIN.EXE to something like
REM CE=C:\DRDOS\LOGIN.EXE
and then boot your computer again.
You could put a BIOS password but then if someone takes the battery out you're done
again.
There's no way to protect a PC from use by unauthorized users ..
( I am not talking just for DOS, for UNIX too . Think about it !!!)
