How can I keep my programming lab away from viruses?

Q. I maintain a undergraduate basic computer programming lab.

There are thirty windows PCs. No Internet connections.

Students are allowed to use USB pen drives. So spreading of virus is a common problem. But since Internet is not available, anti-virus software are not used because of the unavailability of frequent update.

Linux is not an option. This is because, we need to run windows-based software.

So what can I do to prevent the spreading of viruses?

A. Disable autorun for USB.

Microsoft also makes a product where all the computers boot from a stable known image on every reboot.

You can also put update detection for many anti-virus programs on a disk and update from that.

Q. there is a folder containing php and html files and image in my pen drive.. it does not gets displayed in the folder. however it gets copied into the system but still does not appear in the computer.. but gets displayed in Linux.. how do i get them displayed and open them?

A. Hey there,

Make sure the files aren't hidden, you can make your XP desktop view hidden files.

To view hidden files, follow the instructions below:

1. Open "My Documents" (Even if it's not located there).
2. Click "Tools -> Folder Options".
3. Click the "View" tab.
4. Look under the section "Hidden files and folders".
5. Select "Show hidden files and folders" then click "Ok".

If it's not hidden, I'm not too sure how to solve this.
