There is nothing you can do as long as they are allowed to boot from these
devices. Now depending on what they are doing you still may have ways to
control them, particularly if this is an Active Directory domain and you can
upgrade to XP Pro which allows the use of Software Restriction Policies
which can also restrict a local administrator as long as the computer
remains a member of the domain. A local administrator could always unjoin a
computer from the domain, but you could make sure they can not rejoin it to
the domain which could deny them to domain resources they may need and show
them how smart they really are. If the school is making over ten thousand
dollar profit per student I am sure they could afford the upgrade to XP
