You are asking to lock down a PC and since it is a PC, access = you can do what you want. It only takes a little time to learn this about Windows PCs so take that much time at least.

Alright, at work we usually don't deal with a lot of desktop computers and everythign we do here is mostly linux/unix based. I have a whole bunch of new systems that run windows vista and we have students that use them, the students should only be allowed to access what is on the desktop and that is it. Some PDF Files, and a couple of other programs (which we don't have the software for and are already installed.) What I want to do is completely limit any kind of access that the students have to be able to manipulate the computer at all. This means no changes of any kind...no other programs, no personalizing their screens, no screen savers, no pictures, no media, nothing....JUST what is on the desktop. So far I have attempted to go into gpedit to do this but after limiting what I though was everything some students eventually got past it all. Is there anyway to make a completely locked account, or is there any software that can assist with this? Please help, I don't have a lot of time.
