windows 2000 desktop help

I am trying to set restrictions on computer lab PC's. the computers are used by a default(power) user, I don't want them to be able to change/modify their desktop.

So far I have set the restrictions so that they can not change the background, access the property menu of "my computer", access the control panel, or view other computers connected to the network.

Now, I would like to set up the system so that the users can't add new folders to the desktop, or delete existing folders/icons. I know it is possible to setup a system, so that when it logs off the desktop settings are returned to a default setting (ie. anything that they added is deleted, and anything that they may have removed is replaced)

How would I go about setting this up?

Me - "hmm, okay, but how do we share the database with the entire angency?"
Manager - "easy, post it on our website"
Me - "but our database is already web based"
Manager - "well this is eisier to update"
