I have the same problem (kids + pc + windows = worry). The idea of using a
different win.ini is a good plan, the problem is is that it doesnt stop
them trashing files. Ok i can leave out file manager , but when they draw
a picture in paintbrush there are these nice dialog boxes inviting them
to save all over the place. The can save "doggy.pcx" as c:\command.com.
Not very likely, but still worrying.

Whats this aporia I saw mentioned.

PS  have any of you got a good free logo? under windows?
