If you are using a Novel network, 4.1X or later, make a policy that sets up your students as volatile (profiles are deleted after log off) make all students a member of student group and associate that group with the policy you have created, you also need have to have workstation manager installed as part of the xp Novel client, warning donot enable roaming profiles in the policy as this uses a lot of disk space usually on the students personal mapped network drive.
Then all you have to do is remind them to save instead of to my documents but to their personal mapped drive on network.
This method also works for Windows2k and NT.
you can also then deliver network applications using NAL (Novel Application Launcher)

We hope to be Win2K nationwide, by the end of the year, because of the manageability alone.
