Greg,
As far as stopping un-needed software from installing to this machine.
You may want to check out Trust-no-exe, Jim K posted a link about this
freeware previously, it's prety cool, and should stop almost everything
from getting on there.

Logoff.scr from the resource kit.
Set it up as the screen saver, set the time out that you want, log out
the screen save part of the display control panel, and go from there.
When the screen saver kicks in, it logs them out.

they never log-off. I need to figure out an idle timer or something to
initiate it OR convince them to shut down when done.

Can you put a reboot script into the logoff?

it's been a fun thread to follow. One kink is that I need things to go
back to default after each user and not necessarily after each day.
Developers have put so much time into "personalizing" the web
experience, it is tough to undo it all to make it un-personalized.
I has looked at the HDD sheriff once. Same concept but it is a hardware
based option.

You are correct. I was under the mistaken conception that this was the
software talked about on the list last week. I would also go with Go
back instead. I don't know anything about this other company. Symantec
puts out good products ( in my opinion ) and $29.95 is a good price to
pay to eliminate the headaches. I think Greg has invested more than $30
worth of his time just following this thread.
Sorry about the false recommendation on my part.

Goback does the same thing. You don't have to lock it down and can
schedule a nightly reboot to restore the settings.

I think I would go with this solution. In your previous post,
you said the users were complaining about their web pages not working.
You also mentioned that you had Active X disabled. I know there are
plenty of web pages that will not work without Active X (
www.trendmicro.com <http://www.trendmicro.com/> free web scan for one
). If you wanted to eliminate the user complaints and the support, this
link says you don't need to lock down the PC. Let the users work
unrestricted and put in a nightly reboot. Every morning the computer
should be just like you set it up.
That is just my experience and opinion.
