Restricting access to various areas to users

[Guest gloriousglenn@hotmail.com]

I am running a server with Windows Server 2003, some client machines

are W2K and some are XP Pro.

 

Is there a way of limiting certain actions by users that log onto the

network. The type of things that I would like to restrict are as

follows:

 

Limit access to what's available on the 'Start' menu

 

Restrict 'Right Click' options

 

Restrict access to various drives

 

Restrict ability to use .exe files

 

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Glenn
