Hello,
I'm developing an application that will collectdata through a touchscreen
monitors.
Essentailly it's an application which administer questionnaires to subjects
in my private practice.
For privacy, the user will be alone while answering the questionnaire.
Even if I make the form to run in full screen mode and even if I make them
pop up and modal, the user has stil a chance of touching the "start" button
at the bottom of the window and by that way to go around and mess up the
computer by deleting anything he/she wants to.
I have managed to disable the keyboard but cannot immagine hot to drive the
user not to be able to act on the start menu. I can hide the taskbar, but I
was looking for some better solution.
Hoping to have well explained what I'm looking for, thanks in advance.

Windows has a feature called Group Policy for this. It allows you to
setup a Kiosk-style application that can only run your app, even if a
hacker unplugs and replugs your PC. A good IT firm would know how to
set this up for you.

This sounds very intersting; it looks like The Solution.
Can you give me some more hints? I will google it by if want/can share some
more information I will really appreciate.
IT? I wish they know what it means...

Perfect !
"problem solved" I guess... although I have to read/study loooots of stuff.
But at least I got the solution.

Thanks to all of us for the help.
