Hi Zuke,
Thanks for posting here. Sorry for my delayed response due to the weekend.
From your post, my understanding of this issue is: You would like to know
how to restrict a PC to run only one program in Win2K AD. If this is not
correct, please feel free to let me know.
Based on my experience, it might be difficult to perform this restriction
in Win2K AD without third-party specific software. But there are Software
Restriction Policies in Win2K3. For more information, please see:
Software Restriction Policies

However, in Win2K AD, you may try to use Group Policy to lock down the
desktop (just remain one shortcut for your application), remove unneeded
items from Start Menu, hide hard drives and so on. And then, the user may
not run other applications if he is not an expert and has insufficient
privileges. For more information about how to do these policies, you may
refer to the following Microsoft web site:
Windows 2000 Group Policy Reference

Hope this helps!
Have a nice day!
