I am not sure why you need to do this.. but we were in sort of similar
situation for a application.... I have done the below
1. Maximize your application Window to occupy entire desktop area, yes this
can be done (using APIs) and yes it does hide the taskbar
2. Prevent user from resizing .., for example you could set broderstyle as
not sizeable for the main form
3. Lock specific key combinations ( or the entire keyboard ), I have blocked
CTL+ALT+DEL , ALT+TAB, SHIFT+ALT+TAB and any key combination me/our testing
team can come up with to prevent access to desktop. You have to make sure
that there is a Dispose() implemented for this component and then that it
gets called when your application exits.. this will make sure that all
combinations are restored..
All this I did as separate modules and then I invoke them one after other
when I need to from my program.
Let me know if you need more info..I am not sure I can share very much
code... but I will do my best to answer any questions u have..

Hi,
How can I lock down the desktop stopping end user from getting to
desktop when inside my app until they quit app?
Also how can I start another app from my app?
Thanks,
JJ
