[WEB4LIB] Patron Access Computer Security

[SARGEANT Brad]

Try tweakui. It is hidden on the W98 disks and does just the sort of thing
you
are talking about. I use it and DeepFreeze and am very happy with the
combination.

I know that there has been a discussion before on patron access security 
but my colleague and I are pulling our hair out trying to find a suitable 
solution with the minimal of fuss.

We currently have 5 Internet Stations and 2 WordProcessors that we are 
trying to protect from unwanted tinkering.  We are using Full control, but 
it has been bogging down our machines and they don't run very 
effectively.  We are alternately thinking about switching to Deep 
Freeze.  Tested it and I think it works great.  Is there something that we 
can do in addition (with Deep Freeze) that will hid icons on the desktop 
(network neighborhood, my computer) that will stop the even most tempted of 
patrons from fooling around.

Thanks in advance
