I am trying to set up a user account where my students can
run a CD-based program and nothing else is accessible to
them. The program is to be loaded under an account one
step below administrator and it installs the minimum
needed for the program to run so anytime the student
double-clicks on the desktop icon it will open the program
up as long as the CD is in the D: drive. There is no
need, and highly preferred minimizing access, for the
student to have any other options other than logging off.

Then I need to setup a separate account for a person to
connect to a specific website to answer course critique
questions. They need no other access to anything on the
web or being able to open any files on the C: drive.

I am a novice at MMC and find that using iut limits access
to all users and have had to reload the intial image when
I locked one too many features.

Thanks.

Jim
