Starting application hiding Windows functionality

I want to start an application in full screen and hide /disable the
posibilities to run windows commands for the user.

You can always set border to none, window maximize & hide the taskbar.

If you want to disable key combinations then you need to look into the Low
Level Keyboard Hooking to disable the key combinations.

A few examples of keyboard hooking in VB.NET:

I personally have found a way to disable ALT CTRL DEL for Windows
2000/XP/2003, but have not yet created a DLL for download as yet.

I hope this helps.
