I guess we put no restrictions on them yet other than disabling booting from external devices in the BIOS. That should alleviate some of the hacking possibilities as they cannot then boot to some sort of mini-linux os running from their thumb and then cause all kinds of havoc. Other than that, if it doesn't work with native XP drivers they can't use it.

That makes a lot of difference when coming up with a solution.

I would like to know how other Tech Coordinators are dealing with USB drives on locked down systems. There are so many different USB thumb drives out there and some will not work on a locked down system because students are not allowed to load software. Any body got a solution??? Thanks, Tony Richardson Technology Coordinator Humboldt Community School District [EMAIL PROTECTED]
