I have our public computers locked down pretty tight with a GPO. My only
problem is the users are hitting F1 to launch the Windows help file then
from there they are able to access a command prompt and other things like
games. How can I disable the Windows Help File?

Is there also a way to disble the opening of an explorer window when they
double click on Programs off the Start Menu?

Click to expand...

You could see if removing their Execute permission on
%SystemRoot%\System32\WinHlp32.exe does the trick.

Unfortunately the application they need to run has a help file they must
have access too.
