>Actually, assuming that not all users need 'administrative' access to the functions in the Control Panel, you can construct a set of System Policies for each user using POLEDIT (it comes with the O/S, and can also be downloaded from MS' site as part of ZAK). Admittedly, you can bypass login-level protections in Win95, but then they won't get connected to the network either if they cancel out of the login dialog. Obviously, admin users will be able to mung about at will, but you can block access to virtually all applets under the Control Panel, including the ability to alter time and date.

I was going to mention this, but I wasn't sure it was possible.
