It would seem that this tool should be a good test for the K-5 group, if
they should break through Doug's tool and munge the system again Doug
needs to do some updating.

I help an elemantry school K-5 with the computer lab they have which has
32 XP Home computers that are part of workgroup.

They do not have enough money for full time administrator or
administrative software or even central domain administration. so I have
to work with whatever free time I have to help.

some kid(s) keep rotating the screen, change the wallpaper, install
programs, and change settings.

I added a guest account, the onlyway they can login is thrue the guest
account, administrator accounts are locked with password changed
frequently.

I disabled right click. locked the control panel, and no display
settings. the little creeps still managed to get around it.

my question is does anyone know how could they do that.

second question is there anyway I can prevent them from changing
anything on the computer or reset any changes after logging off.

Thanks
Ike
