If you're using workgroup authentication, you're hopefully logging into your
computer with a private account / password. What you'll need to do is add that
same account, with identical password, on each of the students computers. That
will enable you only to connect to each student computer, from whichever
computer you login to.

Access to the shared folders on the student computers will be restricted - but
by account / password (yours), rather than by remote computer. Just don't give
your password out.

BTW, posting your email address openly will get you more unwanted email, than
wanted email. Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself a
bit safer when posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest of the
internet - read this article.
