I am setting up a series of PC's that serve as a resource for the public to access info from our network. I'm looking for a way to disable the advanced boot options in W2K Pro, so that peolple cannot try to hack into the system. Any ideas?

Your answere is on the resource cd for winnt or for w2k, specifically C2 Security Manager. try to locate a copy of this resource cd.

there may be a cheap backwards way to do this, if you load winnt AFTER w2k it causes the advanced boot option to dissappear: from the microsoft web site::

This problem can occur if you are dual-booting Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and you installed Windows NT 4.0 after you installed Windows 2000, or if you have reinstalled Windows NT 4.0.

This behavior occurs because Windows NT 4.0 is unaware of the additional startup features of Windows 2000 and replaces the shared Windows boot files(Ntldr and Ntdetect.com).

If you have the extra time and non critical machines i would try this.

This is not an option we can use. There are going to be about 30 of these PC's in different locations, and time is getting critical.
