Hopefully your users are "restricted users" in the sense that they are
regular users and not local administrators or power users that will make it
next to impossible to restrict if the user is determined, especially on a
Windows 2000 workstation. Having said that you can restrict or "hide" much
from users using Group Policy. In particular look in the settings under user
configuration/administrative templates for all the various options such as
in Windows Explorer and desktop. The user accounts must be within the scope
of influence of the Group Policy if you configure it at other than domain
level which often makes sense as possibly you do not want these restrictions
to apply to all domain users. Changing system time is a user rights which
you can manage in the appropriate Group Policy under computer
configuration/Windows settings/security settings/local policies/user rights
and is a computer specific setting. --- Steve
