I might just use the guest session. And so, is there a way of setting it up with the configurations of another account, for example, set the background image, the xfce panel switch, the network configs?<br>

<div dir="ltr">When I set up a PC lab for a homeless non-profit my fix was to let them log on with the Guest account. The Guest account's skeleton file is what got customized and did not require a password. They could change things in part but changes where
lost as the Guest account reset on the next log-in. It had the added benefit of being a lot more restricted than even the user account. For the volunteers I set up a LDAP access so they could log on any system on the network. It was a bit of a work around
but worked well enough.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another possibility I started to play with was to cluster all the PCs and create a thin client/server environment. This puts permission establishment in the user profile on the server and the PC becomes client work stations. Users could customize all
they wanted or as little as you let them if memory serves, the profile followed them. You need a fairly robust network for this option though because of the traffic requirements.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have seen kiosk style setup where the log-in went straight to program and when the program ended the user was logged out. In this scenario you could set up Moodle, an open source course ware, that the students are prompted to log into and the underlying
system is never seen.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And depending on the environment and age group of your students you could put Sugar on the system, which is designed specifically for what you are trying.</div>

</span>Hi,<br>
<br>
if they anyway should not set up their individual desktops, then for<br>
what purpose do they need their own accounts? Can't they simply use a<br>
guest account? If they would change something, it automatically would<br>
get reset for the next session. IIUC they do not have their own<br>
accounts, they share the same account, so instead of using a regular<br>
user account, let them use a guest account.<br>
