With Win2k you have something called the Group Policy editor that lets you configure your client PCs the way that you want. It is accesible via the MMC, in Active Directory Users and Computers. If you right click on any object (the domain, a group, an OU, etc) and select Properties you will see a tabbed dialog box and one of the tabs will be Group Policy. You can create policies here that control the look and feel and security of your client PCs. This requires that you use Active Directory on your network and there is alot more to it than what I have outlined.
