Hi Martin, Can't give you a complete answer, but can point you to where to look...
You have two choices that I can think of: 1) Don't use roaming profiles, and each computer will have its own profile, 2) Make the Roaming Profile mandatory - this will cause it to not save any changes made after logging in- it will just d/l the profile each time. Here's a fairly good explanation: http://networking.earthweb.com/netos/article/0,,12083_625291,00.html There may be other options, but none I can think off of the top of my head.
