Double Click Start Menu

[Guest Phil-m]

Hi,

I work for a number of schools, they are running server 2008 and xp clients,

we have locked the desktops down using group policy but have realised that if

the pupils double click the all programs on the start menu they can get to

explorer and browse the network and gain access to the c: drive even though

we have denied it.

 

Any help would be helpful

 

Thanks

It appears that GP was not configured properly. If you wish to pursue

that avenue:

Another one is -
