How to lock down the Find function?

[Richard M. Page]

     Hi! We don't have this problem when using Fortres 101. In fact, we have had 
     very little problems with this security solution, and the price is right 
     (less than $500 for any number of machines in one building--they do make 
     exceptions for branch libraries).
     
     I don't think there will be a permanent solution using only Win95 
     resources. Hacking the registry can be worked around by an industrious or 
     knowledgeable individual, and using policies have problems also.

I tried asking this on the W95 Lab Managers list, but got no response. 
I am hoping that someone here might have the answer.
     
     
We have recently been converting a number of public-access PCs to 
Windows95.  The project is working well, and we have used the registry 
editor to disable various functions and menu options which we don't want 
available.
     
However, we have found that when users click on the desktop or taskbar, 
outside the running program, they can then press <F3> and call up the 
'Find' dialog box, even though Find has been disabled from the Start Menu.
     
Does anyone know what we need to do to modify the registry to disable 
this feature?
     
Thanks for your help.
