Admit I'm not familiar with your setup, but can you activate/deploy a

Look in:

Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP

The Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows® XP. Version 1.1 software update is now available. The new version still offers the same powerful software tools for shared computers in classrooms, school computer labs, libraries, and other public places as the previous version, and also includes software updates that resolve a few known issues.
