This would be a good solution but we have the resident's terminals =
outside of the corporate network directly interfaced with the Internet. =

Convert all of your PC's to dumbterminals (Win9x and Citrix Client). =
Lock
down the dumbterminal using Poledit and registry hacks (remove icons,
drives, etc....). Create one shortcut on Startmenu called "Connect to
Server"
For the Winterms you can just connect to IE Published App.
Then again, I guess I'm assuming your running TS or Citrix somewhere at
corporate.
