Hi :

I need to have an aplication runing all the time. Users shouldn't be able to use the computer for no purpose other than this aplication. The integrity of the system must be granted.

I need to disable programs from been use by users. These programs coul be among others file manager, MS-office, games.

I also want to disable acces to floppy or CD.

How can I achive that users only get acces to the application and not fool around with
anything else in the computer?

I would apreciate any help or a link to some info.

Thanks,
Vincent
