I am a novice W2k user trying to come up with a configuration for new public access PCs. The basic configuration components are PAC4Win 1.4.2, IE 5.5 sp2, Public Web Browser 1.27, Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition 7.5, and Fortres. I may add Clean Slate to the picture. 

In a nutshell, I created a user named PAC in W2k, added it to the Administrators Group, configured the above components, then moved the PAC user to the Guests Group. It needs some tweaking, of couse, but one thing puzzles me, which hopefully is just a "duh" thing. Since PAC4Win does not work as stated in its "secure" mode, I added PAC4Win to startup so that the PC boots into it. What I don't understand is that when I close PAC4Win, then try to open it back up from the desktop icon, it won't open. This is NOT a Fortres problem because is happens whether or not Fortres is enabled. Is the Guests Group restricting it? Also, "small" changes I make, such as deleting icons from the systray, don't always stick, and a "Getting Started With Windows 2000" welcome screen doesn't seem to want to go away. Any advice?

Thanks,
