| 212552 | 2004-02-03 07:38:00 | Hi I am wanting to set up a computer as a jukebox in our work social room. Because my workplace is full of computer illiterates I want to ensure they have access to nothing but the jukebox program, and can not delete or alter any files or settings. I have heard that Windows 2000 will allow you to set up the system so that on booting up the jukebox program will start and appear on screen, but if anybody tries to access anything else it will password prompt so they cannot get into the nuts and bolts of the system. I have all Microsoft OS's available to me so I am really after advice on these things: 1) Have I heard right and is this possible? 2) Which would be the best OS to install to accomplish the above? 3) What is the easiest way to go about this? Thanks in advance!! :) |

| 212555 | 2004-02-03 08:29:00 | You could always set the software as your System Shell. You could look into DesktopX from Stardock.com You could run a Linux system. Each has its own pros and cons. 1. Ive never swapped the Shell. 2. This will cost a little, but is probably ideal for you! 3. Linux system is Open-Source, therefore free |

| 212558 | 2004-02-06 03:50:00 | I KNOW HOW TO DO IT! i seriously crippled the start menu in the guest account, pic here (sal.neoburn.net). how i did it was made an admin account, made another account (also admin, you should call it "jukebox"), download freshui here (www.freshdiagnose.com), put all the icons on the desktop that you want, make all the changes, then make the jukebox account limited i suggest you password the admin account, and keep the log off button, however not the shut down button on the jukebox account |
