[WEB4LIB] profile on Win2000

[Jill Donnelly]

We are just now implementing new workstations with Windows 2000, using the restricted user setting users can't do much of anything.  I feel fairly safe.  It's an IP only box but even if it wasn't, that profile doesn't have rights to do anything.  

We will be using Deep Freeze by the people who make WinSelect so that any changes or additions will be wiped out at each reboot.  I played around with Public Web Browser, it is very cool, but the things I was trying to do, in the end I feel the Win2K profile/Deep Freeze combo take care of anyway, so for now, I'm not using it.  We shall see.

I am looking forward to getting them out so that I can see how it goes.  I'm also looking forward to not using WinSelect any longer.  

(I still need to respond about the CD-R question I asked a week or so ago, it's coming)

We have had problems using WinSelect on our latest Win2000 work 
stations.  It does not like to display printers in Netscape or deal with 
pdf files in Netscape 4.08 either.   has anyone out there managed to come 
up with security settings for Win2000 that will secure public computers 
without using external software such as WinSelect?

Our general goals are to keep people from the Network neighborhood and to 
prevent them from installing software or 'destroying' the computer that 
they are using.

Any hints would be appreciated.
