Set a desktop item prevention
This is a discussion about Set a desktop item prevention in the Customization Tweaking category; I am a school teacher who is trying to prevent pupils setting desktop items to anything other than the standard blue screen. They are saving in appropriate pictures as screen savers. I am using NT4 and windows 2000.

You might want to consider the use of DeepFreeze, a product which discards any/all changes made to a system upon rebooting. Volume/Educational licenses are available, too.
You might be able to use polices for this sort of thing but I must admit I wouldn't know the first thing about setting them up.
