Its in Hkey_Current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\user shell folders and Hkey_Current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\ shell folders One of them overrides the other but we just have both looking to the favorites folder in the home folder

At our school we redirect everyones favoties to their work area, hence they are saved, its a registry mdofication I can look it up if you want

There is some software from smart That I looked at a while back called LinQ, http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/LinQ/LinQv1Win.htm Which may do what you want, we ended up just ginving teachers write access to the pupils work area so he could follow what they were doing on his laptop

Thanks, but I have already tried this

Thats the problem they were certified until I added microsoft as a trusted publisher, in software resyticon polcicy, we are now in the procees of rebuilding all iamges in preparation for a complete rebuild of all workstations over easter

Ahh, but diffrent memory keys, need to be instatled so you would need a large collection of memory keys to isnatll them all

Unfortunately that does not seem to have worked. Any other crazy ideas?

Thanks I'll give that a try

This is getting quite frustrating now having to run round the school typing in administrator username and passwords, so if anyone has any suggestion no matter how crazy I would like to hear from them We have a similar problem, we let students use memory keys, so they have work on them, recently every machine has started to request admin details, this is because the drivers are not digitally signed but they are Microsoft default drivers, and the same memory key works fine on the test machine which has the same GPO being applied, by using USB DLM, some of the machine have started to work but not all of them, we are not particularly keen on distributing a fix that does not work on all machines. This is a recent problem, as in the last two weeks we have had one or two request which we though nothing off, but today we have had requests from all over the school asking us to install memory keys. Does anyone have any ideas why the drivers are now unsigned which were previously signed. p.s. we have recreantly added Microsoft as a trusted publisher in software restriction policy but we tried turning it off and still we had the same problem, (however we did just remove the certificate and it is our only certificate, so it may not have undone any changes that it made)

We have a silmlar problem, we let students use memory keys, so they have work on them, recnetaly every machine has started to request admin deatils, this is beacsue the drivers are not digatly signes but they are micrsoft default drivers, and the same meery key works fine on the test machine which has the same GPO being applied, by using USB DLM, some of the machine have started to work ut not all of them, we are not particuary keen on distrubuitg a fix that does not work on all machines.

Thanks Lee_K_81 Unfortunatly we use RM filtering, which as far as I can see, only awllows you to retrict URL, so we had to block the prefrence page, adn hope that none of them have chnaged it yet, if anyone knows a way to rewrite urls with RM filtering I would be very intrested Molesm

Thanks NetworkGeezer

No would not have thought that many would leave part of themseleves behind, I think that the cable is supposed to be very hard to cut though, although I have never tried

Our New PCs were towers, which were then bolted through two holes in the bottom, to the work bench, looks good as you can't see it, though can be a bit of a pain to undo, simalr thing with the TFT they have a metal bars going over the base of the creeen, then the bears are bolted down to the workbench, can't really see them that much. We did have a couple secured in one of the rooms with kensigton locks before we got these new PCs, which were then stolen, they left the kensigton lock and a chunk of plastic from the screen behind.
