Hi all, I'm a teacher and will be receiving 6 new computers with XP installed in about a week. I have a desktop at home with XP installed and am trying to figure out a way to secure the computing environment from middle school prying eyes! I've found several programs that disable access to several important places (control panel, etc.) and that's fine, but what concerns me at this point is the Win E shortcut to Explorer. If I get a kid that knows this shortcut, all other preventative measures go right out the window! Any suggestions on how to disable this keyboard shortcut would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any suggestions regarding security applications that might have this included would also be appreciated! Thanks, Mark

page.
