Default Password Protecting

I am an educator, and I want to use WMP as a reward for my h.s. student's
good behavior. Is there a way that I can put a password on WMP so they
cannot use it unless I put in my p.w.?

Also is there a way that I can restrict what type of music they listen to?

Thanks,
Texas Teacher

A: Not really, no. WMP operates on the same mechanisms as any other app -
there's nothing unique to denying/enabling access to WMP. You could lock it
down to a skin that would quit if the password wasn't entered, but then
you'd have to write a skin.

B: ... Local files or net files... ?

Most of this stuff is doable, but would require nontrivial work on your
part.
