I do not want them to logon to any computer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have 100 new users every year. I want them to logon to OWA and SharePoint only. Since logging in to office my XP computers will create a profile on each computer, I setup a ONE generic account that everybody can rather use and from there they can can go to the web to check their company e-mail. The problem is no one is following these instructions. They are using their user account to logon to the XP machine. This created many profiles that are taking space on the local hard drive. I tried to assign them to logon to certain computer through AD but nobody was able to logon remotely due to the restriction. any idea?

Thanks,
