Don't want clients to be able to exit a remote connection

Our product will be using a remote connection and running an app on a win
2003 TS server. I'm tring configure it so that once the connection is made
the client can not exit. IE no bar that slides down from the top and no
task/start menu on the botton of the screen. I guess this would be
concidered Kiosk mode.

Is this possible? I cant find any docs on it so far.

Thanks in advance.
 
I don't think that you can achieve all of your goals, but here's
what I know about configuring the Connection Bar:

To disable the yellow connection bar, go to the display tab and
uncheck "Display the connection bar when in full screen mode."
For security purposes, it will still be visible for a few seconds
or until you log on, but then will slide out of view.

Add this registry key in the following location on the client
machine and the Pin will be pushed unless you move the mouse to
the top of your desktop which would then show the connection bar.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server
Client\PinConnectionBar - REG_DWORD - 0

You can lock down the GUI with a restrictive GPO, define a custom
Start Menu, prohibit access to Task Manager and so on.

Group Policy can do this.
