If you are looking for a centralized management which I belive you would like to setup, then you will have to convert your windows 2003 macine to domain controller by using the dcpromo command and then you will have to join rest of the computers as a member of the domain. \n\nMake sure you use TCP/IP configuration correctly and on top of it the DNS configuration is the most important part of it since Windows XP machines looks in to the DNS configuration to locate domain controllers. \n\nHope this will help if you need additional information on how and what email me.

You can apply ACL permissions at the file level with active directory permissions to prevent an executible from being ran.\n\nIf you want to restrict a user from logging into that machine just add the machines that the user can log into in that account setup under AD.\n\nOther than that more clarification is required

If you boot up in safe mode, you should be able to log in as the main administrator providing you know the password. This user is normally hidden in XP so you wouldn't normally see it. Once you have logged in you will be able to set up a new user.

You have to have administrator rights to the computer. The owner of the computer is usually assigned administrator rights. They can log in and control the others profiles on the computer.\n\nProfiles can be added or deleted.\n\nIn XP just go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts\n\nThere you can make the necessary changes.

If you're using Windows XP, set your user account as an Administrator, and leave the rest as basic users.  They shouldnt be able to install programs at all, if my understanding of that system is accurate.

Easiest way is to use something called GOTOMYPC. If it's a one-off, use their trial.\n\nIt does give you complete access to the PC

No- the only thing that will let you do that is user rights and permissions, and the only Windows operating systems that give you that level of control are the server products and XP Pro. Unless you have a domain in your house, Pro is the way to do it.  XP Home is the same thing as Pro, except it does not have those tools, and it cannot be joined to a domain. One answer per question- if you have XP Pro, say so and ask again, and I will tell you how.

You can only add other LAN PC's or webfolders configuration to "My network places". It would be better to add yahoo as a shortcut to your desktop.

I will go for Windows Server 2003 Active Directory. I will use Active Directory for creating the users and the groups. U can also write ur custom code for creating users and assigning them permissions in any of the language like VBScript, C++, VB 6.0, .NET.
