I want my employee to use only one program...and how do I set that up?

[slicksilver]

Ok..here's the scenario....We have a computer which will be used for retail showroom processing and all I want the worker to use only one program i.e billing software and nothing else...How do I do that ? and can this be done at all? I want it to be in such a way that all he can do is start the computer, run the program automatically and then finally an option to shutdown.. Is the possible?

Thanks

Raj

I remember reading about it in a win2k book I had....I'll have to check and see exactly what it said, will get to it tonight if there is no reply yet. I'm sure its just a very restricted account...

SiteKiosk.

Sitekiosk helps only if you need IE only...I dont think you can do the same for any other program...Fiveohh, I'm looking forward to your reply

Start->Run->"gpedit.msc"

you can config the settings for the local computer or the users on the local computer

I'm not a Win2K admin, but it seems you should be able to do that simply by setting appropriate user permissions.
Maybe give the person an account with no read, write, or execute permissions on the box. Then grant permissions only to the folder that the application is in. Just a theory though.

EDIT: Do you need to have any other apps on that box?
You should be able to uninstall everything other than that app, then just deny that user account permission to install software.
