Disable software installation in Windows XP

[SlowStarter]

Guys, do you have a software that prevents any user from intalling any software (like p2p client software, adware, etc.) in XP? I tried Tweaking the registry, i even change user type from Admin to User/Guest, but is still there. I have a small internet cafe with 8 PCs and at the end of the day i always uninstall unwanted software. Need help pls....

What version of XP are you using?

you could try something like "VMWARE". it will cost you some cash though, but it does what you needed/wanted; at the end of each user session you can "reset" your computer to virgin status.

I thought you could download vmware for free? No? I was told that recently.

You are thinking of Virtual PC. That is now free.
