How to prevent limited account users from locking PC?
I work @ a computer lab @ skool, the students have limited accounts, however some of them are able to lock their computers while others can't. Does anyone has any idea how to fix this, i have been looking around but i can't find a solution anywhere.
(Oh i'm not really sure where i shud put this, move if necessary please)

Why would you want to prevent a user from locking thier workstation PC temporarily) anyway? At UTECH, They seem to be using a combination of Windows 2000, and XP to alter the group policiaes effectively.Originally Posted by buffy

I know that at schools.. you dont really want to have... student lock the machine... and leave .. making unaccessable to other students without admin intervention

Hard Reset always works for a 'locked" machine.
Here is the Group policy key to change though. (Gpedit.msc typed in Run Box)
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options.
There is a key that says "Remove Lock Computer". Enable that as a policy for the domain and that should work.
