Hi,

Is there a way to prevent a user from using programs such as Task Manager,
Command.exe, and Explore etc...

We want the user to use only the programs we let them use and we do not want
them using most of the Windows features or none at all.

Thanks in Advance for any help...

There's a similar utility in W2K, but that doesn't work equally
