Give each user their own computer on the LAN.
InfoEach user should have their own username/password. Any changes a user makes to the way their desktop looks is JUST for that user. If user A logs into the PC, and turns the Active Title bars purple, only user A has to live with purple Active Title bars. User E could log in and make his/her Active Title bars orange, without affecting user A's.Alternative Solution
Install and use Microsoft's free VirtualPC virtualisation program. Each virtualised environment gets its own IP and each user can run his/her own environment.
