| 288408 | 2004-11-06 01:09:00 | I run a school network and students often install games is there any program that will find and delete certain games without them noticing if possible | thewhiz (4002) | ||
| 288409 | 2004-11-06 01:12:00 | Two things: 1. Try using full-stops/periods when writing a message - It makes our life easier, and your story of running a school network more believable. No hard feelings..... 2. Try setting policies on the PC, or enforce NTFS limitations/quotas. What OS? What type of network etc etc etc.... Cheers Chill. |

| 288410 | 2004-11-06 01:15:00 | The server OS is Windows 2000 Server and the clients are either Windows ME or Windows 98. | thewhiz (4002) | ||
| 288411 | 2004-11-06 01:18:00 | Whenever I've looked after school computers I usually resorted to physically removing the floppy and CD drives. Other methods include incasing the PC in a small inclosure, students then need to ask for permission to access the drives to install any software. |

| 288412 | 2004-11-06 01:20:00 | One slight problem with that, we have internet access and sometimes I have to use the Cdrom or Floppy drives for Installing Software etc. | thewhiz (4002) | ||

You should be running network installs of software. Or if you went for the locked case option, you would still have access to the drives, you would just need a key :) |

| 288414 | 2004-11-06 01:29:00 | What about standalone computers like laptops that we dont use on the network. | thewhiz (4002) | ||
| 288415 | 2004-11-06 01:49:00 | You could always mount an optical drive in an external 5 1/2 USB enclosure, so that if you or another admin/teacher needs to install software you can. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 288416 | 2004-11-06 01:58:00 | Buy one PCMCIA Ethernet adaptor for the laptops. Plug in to the network when needed. The other way is to not have hard disks on the clients. A boot just does a download of a "guaranteed" clean OS image from the server. |
