Show/Hide start button and taskbar in XP

Hi everybody

I have a mission critical application, so I don't
want the user to be able to start other apps on the
PC like internet explorer etc.
Therefore I want to hide the start button as well
as the taskbar and I also want to disable the
CTRL-ALT-DELETE bringing up the task manager.

How do I do this programatically in C#.NET running
the app on windows xp. I have tried several examples found
on the internet written in VB, but they don't work on xp.

Thanks in advance
Kim W.
