User trouble

hi
are you running active directory? if you are you could configure a group policy object to restrict users from installing software and either assign it to the computers or the users. best bet would be to do this with active directory users and computers in my mind. if not active directory you can set a local policy on the machines. you should find this in the administrative tools menu, you can control pretty much anything you want with this. hope that helps

If you leave them out of the 'administrators' group, they will have no ability to install unwanted software (or make any changes to the OS)...

Do this by right-clicking 'My Computer'> 'Manage'> 'Users and Groups'> 'Groups' - just verify that their logon id is not in that group.

Good luck!
