Rick,
I'm not sure if this is the answer but I used a program called WIN-U that
can be set to several levels of protection. I had it set up on a computer
that I wanted everyone to use but not to be able configure. Look at this
web site: http://www.bardon.com/products.htm. I also found it by
entering http://www.winu.com
Let me know if this works for you.
Regards,
Marv Trott
