user profiles

Lots of schools need to run one desktop for all users. Not a standard default
user template. But to actually disable user profiles like you could in
windows 98. With 2600 users xp takes to long to login when it has to create a
profile each time because we use a security program that freezes the desktop
and dismisses any changes to the c: once rebooted.

Does anyone know of a way to disable user profiles or assign a profile where
everyone uses it and a new local one is not created

Thanks Carey. These users are actually network accounts and not local. They
logon to a domain. The district analyst has turned off icmp so they can not
obtain a group policy. which even in that i have not found a way to assign a
profile to an entire group. Any other ideas
