win2000 network

students are bringing in remote desktop software on disk and then gaining
control of other win2000 workstations. Is there not a simple setting in local
security or GPO or something that prevents all remote desktop connections?

please don't answer with 'use only allowed windows apps' in a GPO, as this
is not an option.
