Hello all............

I administer a network with 200 users on it running
win2k,
but I have this problem, there are a few very
computer-security savvy =
users on the network with an intent to make my life
difficult;=20

I currently use Radmin to remotely access different
workstations etc... =
on my network yet these guys always know when I'm
watching because of =
the jump of processor power the R_server.exe
service uses when it is =
active and I'm monitoring there activities.....they
notice almost =
instantly when I connect to their machine because of
the info. task =
manager provides.....my question is ;=20

Is there any way to disable them (specifically these
users) from viewing =
the task manager ?? in other words, stoping them
from pressing CTRL + =
ALT + DEL and clicking on Task manager?

If anyone knows how then I would also like to know if
there is any way =
these users can reverse it within there
simple 'USERS' privileges and =
access rights ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Laterz

Dan B.
