Classes start Wednesday...

Hello All,

I work at a community college and have the political machine that is the network people to deal with, so can't get server-side policies in place. Just moved our public use machines in our library over to NT4.0 from 98 (systems can't handle 2000). the only thing I ran out of time researching is preventing a local user from shutting down the machine, and browsing Network Neighborhood. I've used Fortres 101 to good effect, so am loathe to throw tweakui in to the mix. Is there a fast-and-easy reg hack that will accomplish these goals?

TIA,

andrew

 

Yes and no. You can insert registry restrictions such as NoNetHood and NoClose .... see the link below for those and others.

But ctrl-alt-del will still be available and allow a shutdown or reboot from there. To disable that I think you may need 3rd party software.

Win 98..

This ones for Win NT, most of the restrictions are similar...

Thanks for the hints, Rog. I'm off tomorrow so I'll follow all the links I can. Thanks again!
