Probably what you'll want to do is to set up User Profiles, which can restrict the levels of what each can do. You can forbid downloads altogether, disable any changes to the Display Properties (screensavers, backgrounds, power management, etc.). Here's a cut-and-paste from an earlier reply I posted a few months ago, with a link to the details:
______________
Here's a link to the TechNet/TechRepublic tutorial for User Profiles from their Windows 98 Archive http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/default.mspx

From that link, go down the menu to Windows 98 / Tips / "Windows 98: Protecting Users From Themselves"

[The title of the article rather gives away it's origin from the I.T. side of life ] . . . after a screen or two of introductory chatter, it gets to the details of User Profiles.
