| Guys, do any of you know of some kind of software that I can install on a 95/98 machine that will keep some of my users from installing software, unless they know of a password or something? Im looking for something that will keep my machines clean of crap that people tend to put on them. Any ideas??? Thanks.
Sorry to ask this question in here, but I thought you guys might know. | |

| It's been a while, but if you have a domain setup you can do roaming profiles and restrict there access for making changes. Another option you probably could use is a policy (poledit) to do the same.
HTH,

| We use a program called "Deep Freeze" in our Windows 98 lab. Seems to do the trick! | |

| Use you regedit to lock down the desktop
Here is a link to a great page for reg hacks.

This is tip 50 also check out tip 70 and tip3636.
I used these on windows 2000 also.
What is nice about hacking the desktop is you don't have to ntfs. All you are really doing is eliminating the common pathes people take to play.
Do things like preventing right click menus, eliminating the run and find command, hiding the c drive etc. It's pretty cool once you get it all set up. But use a test machine first.
I had people coming in and using my machines in a 24 hr shop. They would kill me most days by adding id's etc. Once you lock up the desktop. Most of the typical population quit even trying. |
