I'd be interested in knowing how you ultimately manage to achieve that, although I am wondering what problem you are trying to address by such a move.

I shudder to imagine what is prompting such action. You could investigate Group Policies. Should be possible to do it from there On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 4:53 PM, Alvin Jason Ochieng <ajochola@gmail.com>wrote:

How about conforming to the K.I.S.S principle: Disable the soundcard on the PCs and then lock down the BIOS with a master password, such that no user can re-enable? Not an intelligent way but should work while you figure out something to do with Windows Polices. Although I think the Windows Policies would be more KISS than my method:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
