I look after a small win 98 network at a small UK primary school (kids 4 -11 years old). I need to stop them accessing settings & instaling progs, altering settings & the desktop etc... Suggestions for ways to do this would be appreciated.

If you have a budget that will allow you to purchase software to acomplish this, I would highly recommend using Fortress. I use Fortress in a high school library lab, and it works very well. The way I have it setup is the users can only use the computers, they can not install software, change any settings, I even have the Start menu disabled so they don't get to any applications they are not supposed to be using. The price is quite good considering this is the best solution I've found so far. I've also used the MS Policy Editor, but have found it's not good for locking down a workstation, it's easily bypassed with a little tinkering. Hope this helps.
