Can I centrally set folder options in domain?

At our school, we have moved to XP clients in a W2K domain. We have a Group Policy to prevent access to Folder Options in the Tools menu in Windows Explorer. The students are complaining that each folder now opens in a new window and I can see that this is a bit of a pain.
Is there a way to set the ‘display in same window’ folder option centrally – as it appears to be a per user setting in XP – without removing this policy?
