I have found an easier fix for this - run an older version of kazaa - I had fewer issue with most of the version pre version 2.
On the question of win2k and restricting users, it did help in XP - I have not tried this in win2k yet.

On a personal note, Kazaa is a dangerous program. I keep getting ad-aware/spy-ware stuff and I do not know where it comes from. I have norton anti-virus and one out of every ten programs that are downloaded has a virus!! If you read their license agreement they can install third party software on your computer.

It also installs "gator," which manages lots of pop-up ads and tracks web activity. Kazaa music download software has made computers virtually unusable for three of my clients.
