Yes,Group Policy should be able to handle all the requirements you have listed. If you want to look at the options in Group Policy, if you have your AD set up, you can look at the default group policy settings in your domain or OU, and if you don't have AD set up yet, you can look at your local group policy on any Win2k machine. This should give you a good idea of what you can do. Tons of settings in there.

Dear all, I am setting a clean Windows 2000 environment for the library The requirement on all Windows 2000 Professional is semi-regid. Question #1 On one hand, Library visitor can access data from floppy disk, hard disk, network & cdrom. But on the other hand, they are not allowed to install or amend application program and settings. They should be warned ACCESS DENIED if running SETUP.EXE from CDROM or FLOPPY DISK. Can this be done? Question #2 Because all these visitors will be using a common generic user account to logon. I intend to set this account profile as MANDATORY Profile user. Please let me know if there is an alternate option that I can consider. Whichever way, I don't want user to amend anything. Thanks for your assistance.
