More information needed...

Just 'how' is this timecard thing setup? One computer and they all 'punch
in' there? or each one on their own computer? Or what?

This shouln't be done on their respective PCs in the first place if it pulls the user's PC
time!

Use a centralized system that YOU control.
An example would be a web page on an Intranet server that grabs the Intranet server's time,
not the user's time.
 
I'm using the server, widows xp pro w/ a business software that includes a
timecard for the employees to clock in/out.
please explain how to access the intranet server time, as i'm an illiterate
at computer programming.
thanks

You can't if you permit them having physical access to the computer
where runs the software.

And the excuse that you are pretending to be a Windows admin or
support person is what? You need to be smarter than your employees,
or pay someone that is smarter.

Because you are using a pseudo-server and not a real server operating system
with a domain set up, you'll need to change permissions on all the
workstations individually. If the workstations are running XP Pro, you can
do this by setting a Group Policy to prevent users from changing system
settings such as time. Your users cannot have administrative privileges of
course.

Use the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to do this. Questions about Group
Policy can be asked in this newsgroup:

microsoft.public.windows.group_policy

If the workstations are running XP Home, you won't have gpedit available to
you and will need to use something like Steady State or even Faronics' Deep
Freeze.

Steady State -

If you have more than 7-8 workstations, a better solution is to replace the
XP Pro on the pseudo-server with a real server operating system such as
Small Business Server, create an Active Directory domain, and manage
everything centrally.
