Any idea(s) i can use to lockdown an xp machines desktop...from users changing startmenu, wallpapers..etc. I'm currently taking care of a lab that consist of 30 xp machines and its getting very very tiring standardizing em... Oh and they're all standalones thank you in advance

Alright, i tried renaming the ntuser.....i follow some guides i got off xp tweak...about mandatory profile on local machines. Some of the hold backs i got from doing this....is that i got two notification window about logging me in on a temporary profile...it did mention about no changes will occur after log off. Trying to find a way to get rid of the two messages. Before and and even after i doing this. I can't seem to figure out how to keep my configuration plus home page on IE. Any ideas are greatly appreciated...

Hi again, My question might sound stupid but i'm wondering bout the difference between these two servers. what does the other have that the other don't.... in terms of functionality, features and so on. I already have WIN2k and looking to buy the advance server but not sure if it will make a difference... Appreciate all your help and thank you very much in advance Sakirik ;(

thanks guys.... i did use gpedit to do some of the things i wanted. For ex. preventing wallpaper and disabling or removing the display icon in control panel. But still when a student saves a pic (whether jpeg or bitmap), lets say from the internet into the pc. He/she can still make it as the background eventhough i disable things under gpedit to prevent such thing from happening. Another question, is there a way to secure icons that i set up on the desktop so they can't be deleted. Or if deleted then would still be there when user logs off and logs in again. I hope i'm making sense and thank you guys very much for helping....

;( I'm sure that i'm not the only one having problems with XP machines but i really need all the help i can get. Recently i've been connecting XP Pro's to network printers(HP & Lexmark) and at first they connect but then once i leave them for about 2 to 5 min or longer...the machine itself would state that the printer cannot be found on the server...unable to connect. Other Operating systems are connecting to these printers just fine and working. I've downloaded latest printers drivers as well as updates for XP's but still having the same problem. Will somebody please help me find out what is wrong or what am i doing wrong? All i know so far by word of mouth is that XP's are faulty. I appreciate all the help i can get and i thank you very much in advance...

Server is running on Linux 7.1 and don't know about its service pack level yet. Same symptoms occur when i tried direct connection using its static ip. The Lexmark is a T622 model and the HP is a LaserJet 4MPlus. The event logs shows only warnings about windows messenger service being disabled but nothing related to printers. Thanks very much for your help....

:x No, i'm on a remote island in the pacific.... with little tech support

thanks i'll take your word for it and try once again thanks for the response

I'm having problems trying to download and install programs using PowerUsers accounts instead of being Administrator. The machine sometimes tells me that i don't not have sufficient resources or permission to do such things. I would like to be under PowerUsers(not administrator) account and do things like downloading and installing progams.I know PowerUsers have restriction unlike administrators but i'm wondering if there's a possible way to go around the matter. Surely appreciate all the help i can get. thank you

Thank you Davros, But i already did that but still i need access that will allow me (as a poweruser) to install programs, view networks without giving me error messages such as not enough resources or permissions
