Question Keeping the kids from mucking it up?

Hi all,
I work in a residential center for children and I'm putting a gaming system togetyher for them with some parts I have around. Problem is, they will undoubtedly muck it all up. I will be usins XP, so I was wondering if there was any way I could stop them from loading any games or apps or stop them from changing any settings? Can anyone point me to a tutorial or something?
TIA,
Nell

Make a limited account. It wont let them install stuff, or mess arround with system files or settings. Go to controll panel>user accounts>account types and it will show you the difference.
