Having just installed Windows XP on my classroom computers, does anyone have
a list of "annoying" or "frustrating" hotkeys that my students would use and
the solution to getting out of them? (For example, freezing the screen, etc.)
 
There's a freeze-screen hotkey? Do you mean keyboard shortcuts? There's
no freeze-screen keyboard shortcut either.
Anyway, go to windows Help and Support, and paste-in: Windows keyboard
shortcuts overview. You can see them here too:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/keys_general.mspx
See if that info helps.
Also, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
and get Tweak UI (download link in the right column). After installing
and running, look in the Explorer section.
Lots of things are annoying until you understand them. In particular
programs, the possibilities are endless. For example, in Word, if you
accidentally hit the Insert key, you'll go into the insert mode, and
you may not know that hitting the key again will get you out of it.

How many students do you have, and how many machines?

Don't give the students administrative rights, and there are some other
things you are going to need to do... Do you have an IT person to help
with this 24 machine setup? And what age group are your students?
