Hello. We use laptops with MS Media Center - for spreadsheets etc as well
as for training employees. These laptops are at remote locations for
training purposes and then at a later time, the manager picks up the laptop
and uses Office etc.
Each laptop has 2 users and 1 admin level. I need the user that is for the
training class to be used just for watching a Powerpoint training session.
Nothing else. How can I disable windows explorer, dvd access etc to just
this user? I've disabled internet use and dvd for the entire laptop, in
control panel -the simple way, in order for it to be simply turned back on.
I tried group policy and removing access to context menus and that didn't do
anything. I tried altering regedit under current user, software, ms,
windows, ver, policies, explorer and added a line for NoTrayContextMenu etc.
That disabled the menu in administrator only, not the user.
Am hoping that if Windows Explorer can be unattainable within the training
user, a multitude of issues can be avoided.
Any advice here is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
