Limiting User Rights and Permissions

Turn off simple file sharing
From a Windows Explorer window, Tools > Folder Options > View. Uncheck the last box: Use Simple file sharing.

.CPL Files
These files control preferences for programs. For instance, you might want to stop a user from by passing the proxy or changing security settings in IE.

This will work with any of the .cpl files. Figure out which .cpl you want to restrict and limit permissions accordingly
 * 1) Start > Search > All Files and Folders.  Search for *.cpl for a list of all control panel files
 * 2) inetcpl is the control panel for IE.  Right click this file > Properties > Security
 * 3) restrict the group (the group Users for example).  Highlight the group, the check the box Full Control Deny.
 * 4) Now anyone from the restricted group cannot open the Internet Properties Window in IE.

 * 2) Create two different files to save documents on the server - one for teachers and one for students.
 * 3) Right click on the teachers save folder > Properties > Security
