You may also want to investigate the Remote Registry Service (installed like
any other network service -- you'll find it on the Win95 CD somewhere).  It
will allow you to use the policy editor from another machine on the network
(ie yours) to secure/unsecure your OPACs.  That way you won't have to leave
yourself a hole on the OPAC to run poledit to undo all the restrictions when
you need to make a change.
