They have rights to everything by default. (There's a way to stop this full
access being the default if you have SP2 but it's easier just to remove them

OK all of the users were set up as web-designers or contributors with
the standard atrributes - however they are all able to access site
settings and change themselves to site administrators!!!

What's gone wrong!

(forgive the basic nature of my questions - the system was just dumped
on me with no warning so I'm working in the dark here).

Yes that was it - he created all the user accounts by duplicating the
admin account!!!!
