I have a PC that I want to only allow a user to run my application. I do not
want thems to be able to change any settings or start other programs.
I know I have seen a Start menu that did not allow access to Control Panel,
the Internet etc.

Why not make your application the shell?
See the bottom of tip 50 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

or see tip 74 » How do I change the shell for selected users?

There are a lot of tips under 50, did not see teh one one changing teh Shell
to my program. Could you be more specific in pointing nme in teh right
direction.

I think the SShell idea is a good one and would like to try it.

Thanks

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell and replace the current .exe with YourOwnLauncher.exe. See "Restricting system features ..." on a subsequent Tips page."
