You are in luck Matt. In XP Pro, in conjunction with ntfs permisions you can
use Software Restriction Policies to lock those computers like a vault. It
takes a little experimenting to get it right, but when you, they will be
amazed at what they can not do. Be sure to read the part about the
enforcement policy that can exempt local administrators. If you lock
yourself out, boot into safe mode as an administrator to configure. If
these are non domain computers you can use gpedit.msc to configure. ---
