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 i

Maybe a problem with student supervision??? We don't allow any students access
to computers without supervision. If there is a problem, the teacher is also

we forget the simple things.

We don't lock down our desktops completely but have some restrictions.
We just image again if messed up.

2nd partition and assign a drive letter "R" and make sure our first
network drive starts with letter "I". This has solved

We ran into a problem with students bringing in CD's and USB drives and running
programs like TIBIA on them. Lightspeed would allow us to kill exe files on

and before we bought a bunch we made sure we would not need to do
anything to make them run on XP without problem. Of course, without

Hi Tony
The DOD was having problems with locking down their Laptops and USB drives

I live under the ever so happy assumption that all my students are
