I think you gonna have to be little more specific on the question.Like what is it doing now that you want W2K no longer do.

The Problem
I am working for a school now as an assistant admin.
We do not want students to be able to setup programs like Kazaa, Instant messengers and AOL accounts on the Systems.
We are running Windows 2k pro.
Is there a way I can prevent them from running setup, or downloading in general.

Yes, they do need to be able to download files from the net.
I looked into internet explorer,tools tab,internet option,security,custom level and saw that I could disable downloads, but is it possible to prevent installation of new programs, while still being able to download files??

ok this is how you disable em to install from cd-rom or other removable media(still working on from hard drive)
in mmc add the local computer policy snap-in go to user config>admin templates>windows installer> disable media source for any install

What rights do they have? I thought that only users with admin rights could install software that modify system files or registry settings. Am I wrong?

Apply a Group or Local Policy Object that prohibits installation (execution) of files.

if you prohibit execution of files then you make that user more or less useless (no M$Word, Excel, etc...
