Hi, you certainly should create a user account for each person as the first respondent noted. However, you can go beyond that. NT includes system policy manager (poledit)located on administrative tools (common). You can set all kinds of restrictionson the machine and I would strongly suggest you deny access to the A:\ drive so they can't install stuff from a floppy. You can set restrictions such as taking away settings on display, not allowing screen saver or background changes, hiding networkneighborhood, etc. There's a lot of information in the help section of the opening screen and also info. on microsoft's knowledge base - search under system policies. When you set up accounts in user manager, look under policies in the menu | user rights. Take away all rights except log in locally (on an nt workstation machine). Also, disable the guest account by checking the account disabled box on that profile. Finally, never let anyone know the administrator account password - make it hard to guess and change it frequently. Finally, make sure administrative tools only shows up in the start folder for you, the administrator.
Unfortunately, I have never seen a manual on how to "kidproof" an nt machine. However, the time you spend learning system policies will be well worth it. Good luck.

Create a user account for them and make them members of the users group only.
With this they can't format or delete system files and were not able to install any registry modifications
