Wish I only had 25 PCs to deal with! Try managing over 600 in a school environment!
All good advise above. If you can have all XP machines that would be ideal. Establishing group policies would be next. I don't have any links at the moment on where to get started. We use steady state (I don't know much about it) but our imaging guy later found he didn't like it. I've seen Deep Freeze used in other schools with great success. Lock down the local administrator account with a password, even the BIOS if you feel necessary. I would recommend re-imaging all the computers in conjunction with establishment of a group policy.

Use a utility like http://www.microsoft.com/w indows/pro ducts/winf amily/ shar edaccess/d efault.msp x ml/deepfre eze.asp
or deep freeze http://www.faronics.com/ht
in addition get rid of the Win98 machines - you can use steady state on them but you can't lock them down with group policies as you can 2000 and XP
