SteveB_NI Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I have a number of stand-alone workstations in a classroom running Windows XP Professional. I have started afresh with user accounts for the new school year - now summarised into 3 categories - those being 2 subjects (restricted limited account) and 1 admin account (obviously full access) for me. Is there any way (preferably free) to fully secure the limited accounts? I mean stop the students changing wallpaper, deleting programs from start menu, adding shortcuts to desktop etc? Is there a way to enforce a particular wallpaper after start up? I'm planning to install a freeware program which shuts the computers down at a certain time of night, I just would like something to stop silly changes being made.

SteveB_NI Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 Thanks! Just what I wanted. I have a problem though when attempting to download it - due to our "managed service" I can't get Windows to be authorised as genuine. Oh well, a download for home I guess!
