Check into using the Policy Editor to enforce restrictions; at one point (at another job) I had 300 98/98se machines authinticating against a RADIUS server and completly locked down the machine (including the ability to install/run programs). Later the labs migrated to NT after the needed application provided support, etc.

Unfortunately Windows 95 does not let you.
True, we could run the network where everyone has the same desktop, but 95
still allows you to install apps.

Why cant you just forbid users from installing there own applications
(especially ones that just recently were installing spyware without
the users knowledge) in an everyone e-mail and then refer users who
still proceed to do this anyway to the corporate security policy?

Cheers,
