I am going to be setting up Windows XP Pro on several PC's in a school. I
was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to how I can lock down things such
as the desktop wall paper, desktop icons so students can't change them.. Any
ideas how this is possible. Also, they will be wireless and I want to only
allow them to connect to one wireless network (not allowing the other
networks to be seen or pop up when they come in range). Is this possible?
Thanks,
Luke

Yep, stop them from doing the serious stuff like change wallpapers. Aren't
there other things a bit more important?

That isnt helpful Alan he is asking a legitimate question. Quit wasting
bandwidth with your hostility.

thanks for the response. What benefits does this have over setting mandatory
profiles (as seen in link attached). Also are there any suggested
utilities/process that you would recommend in the school environment?
