Hi Craig, It's likely that I don't have cc installed - I'll look into that.
Thanks for the kiosk mode suggestion. I had seen this but didn't want to go down that route as I was after a little more flexibility in the system. I've setup shortcuts to our terminal server, for example, for people that want to use these clients just to get to a Windows desktop. I worried that kiosk mode would be too restrictive (although it might appear that it would fit well here). Basically I want to give people access to a range of things, but I also want to assume that they're stupid and will make a mess of things. Killing their sessions and forcing them to login again after a period of inactivity should solve that (nobody should be leaving these machines idle - they're either used with people at them, or they're ready to be used by someone else).
