Is there a group policy to enforce a machine to start with the same settings?

Hey guys,

I'm working on a 5000 use LAN for the public school system. One thing that
we've run into is that the kids have managed to get around the policy
settings to change screen resolution. (It's in a computer lab where they
teach VB). Is there a way to lock down display settings totally? (already
have them locked out of control panel and the normal way to get into display
settings). Alternatively, is there a way in group policies to force the
machine to boot to the same settings, regardless what changes were made
during the last session?

Thanks for your help.

Larry
