Thank you for your responses.

Hi All, I am after some help, advice and information regarding how you all deal with students access to the right-click context menus. I have disabled RCL (Right-Click) via GPO for all students across the board, so they just cannot RCL anywhere. Now I am being asked to turn it back on as there are a few ICT teaching tasks that are cumbersome to work around without RCL. Having used this method in a number of my previous schools it was never an issue and seemed to cut out a lot of potential mischief making opportunities. Now I am second guessing myself and wondering if this is a bit draconian. I understand the requirement for RCL lockdown on the start menu and maybe some other areas that can be locked down via GPO. But my concern is about the things I will undoubtedly miss along the way and the potential trouble it could cause. My predecessors where pretty open and in my 2 years here found a lot of holes which I have closed as I've come across them. But being a typical secondary school we are undermanned and overworked so hours of testing, retesting and chasing down each rabbit hole is just simply beyond what we can deliver in any reasonable time frame. So what are you doing? Disabling RCL for students or allowing it and locking down as best you can. Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Many Thanks

I know its an old thread but this information could be useful to someone. Recently bought INVENTRY , used to be called SchoolAudit. Seemed that it would do everything I wanted, how wrong was I. Avoid it like the plague. Awful product, does not even do the basics properly. Fortunately its fairly cheap so will populate it and move on next year. Lesson learnt.
