Hi all,
I have a POS app ready to go but I only want XP/2000 to run it disabling
other functions of the PC. Basically, I want windows to start app at boot
time and shutdown when app closes disabling all the other apps (Task bar,
menues, etc). I 'll probably will be.

TIA on this topic.

Hello Hector,

Tell windows that your application is the shell, instead of explorer. A
quick search of google will reveal all.
