I've got registry keys for that if you want.


Note that if they're smart enough... they can still get around it. It will take a lot of restrictions to stop them.

Desktop X from wincustomize is great for helping out!

Add Folder Guard, Winguard Basic, a few other lil goodies and you're peachy :-)

140675 2003-05-02 23:46:00 Does the actual "desktop/tower" unit need to be accessed by the people using the computer? Why can't you put it somewhere out of reach (so people can't steal the CD), or put the thing in a cardboard box and tape it shut (with vent holes of course).

If it's a specific program you want to keep running, and make it not possible to exit... i've seen it somewhere - just forgot how to do it:D
