I am a middle school teacher and in my lab, the kids keep going in and adjusting the sound. They either turn it all the way up, all the way off or mute it. I have been hiding the sound control on the taskbar, but they still adjust it.

I would like to be able to lock the sound control so they do not have access to it in any way. Is there any way I can do this?

I am OK if it basically locks it down, I just want to make sure the kids have full access to the internet as needed, the programs they require and the ability to save as needed.

Thanks

Randy

Other Info
No matter what your specs, my PC is better.
Well, I tried that and got nothing from it. It was worth a try. I am wondering if maybe it has changed slightly for Windows 7.

Basically when I logged in, I was still able to access everything. I do think we are close though.
