i'll try to explain,

you dont want to remote desktop as this takes the screen away from the remote and brings it to you.

with the link i posted it makes an xp machine possible to have multiple connections to it with out disturbing the local machine. terminal sessions, to you then rdc it and disable the device's via device manager or a batch file.

I see what you mean and thanks very much, but ideally I just wanted a way to lock out 17 classroom computer with a click on the main teacher computer.
