I need to stop my users from modifying anything in XP's stations. They have to be allow only to open windows explorer and browse a network drive content. The network drive content lots of pictures wich they have to choose from. So. I need help to configure the stations so nothing could be delete or copy and to start and stay in windows explorer to browse those pictures. Maybe i should let them use Internet explorer to browse those pictures. Any sugestions ?? Thanks for your help....

You need to look at Group Policies. it's a big subject, so I sugest some reading up on this. Any XP Administrator book should be a good start. get it wrong and you could end up with some very badly configured machines.
