You can still do what I said but instead your going to have to have a
configuration for each student on each machine in the At Ease then. We
found this very cumberson becuase at the end of each session we would
have the change the student accounts on all the machines. If you setup
one shared folder and set At Easse to use it as the file server then each
user has a locked space for themselves on that volume. If you look at it
from an admin level acces it is just a plan set of folders that At Ease
controls. No compression or encryption. This is a nice thing for
because then you can access all of the kids work without having to log in
as them. The one problem you might have is the fact that you can't limit
file space. NT does not allow you to limit the filespace alocated to thee
user and neither does At Ease.

Hope this helps
