At work we have about 18 laptops that need to be sorted out for the next academic year. I was hoping to learn how to really limit the students accounts to the teachers. It's literally two Windows XP computer accounts just called "Student" and "Teacher", with the teacher account having admin rights, but there's nothing stopping a child going into control panel and changing the colour system, or giving them self admin rights.
What I'm asking is, is there a way to give them almost no control over the computer itself? A way to stop the kids being able to screw things around?

EDIT: A limited account shouldn't be a able to change to Admin (obviously), are you sure they don't all have an Admin account?
They're definitely not admin- I was really confused by this as well. I'll give your program a try.
They're NTFS.
Windows Account Policy
C) Power user Account
Put simply there is an account management tool in the administrative tools where you can restrict users. Also they're are tons of tools out there that can help you. Try software by nirsoft.
One other tip - install Firefox and get them to use it.
