[LM_NET] TECH: Hiding Computer Settings and Internet Options from Students

[Jeri Calcote <calcote@COX-INTERNET.COM>]

Is there a way to "hide" the internet settings and computer settings from students 
so they can only be changed by an administrator?

I know about programs such as DeepFreeze that changes all a computer's settings 
back to the default settings upon rebooting, but that it not what I need.

We are having a problem with students changing the security settings, background 
settings, screensavers, etc., while they are on the computer. Changing the security 
settings allows them to get around our filters and they are accessing images, 
message boards, etc., that are normally blocked.
