Make the program full-screen, disable its ability to be minimized or switched away from, and disable the system's ability to invoke the Start menu or special keyboard combos (CTRL-ESC, ALT-TAB, etc). In the case of WinNT/2K/XP only, you could alternatively just create a completely separate desktop using CreateDesktop() and SwitchDesktop() so that the user only has access to only what you really want them to see and access. When they have met your requirements, you can call SwitchDesktop() again to move them back to the normal desktop. Gambit
