Does any fine individual know of a product or methodology that would lock down a windows 2000 desktop to a single application access?

I'm only slightly familiar with windows 2000, but I'm sure it includes a policy editor like NT/9x. In there you will find a box that says only allow specified programs. You can specify which one you want, lock down the desktop and start menu and give them an icon they can use. Or you can setup IE5 in kiosk mode and put a link to the app on a page and deny the machine any internet access so they don't get outside. Don't know if this is what you're looking for.

We have been using an application call Full Armor (www.fullarmor.com) that is designed to enhance the native security in Windows 9x, NT, 2000. Although I have not worked with it in 2000, I belive that it will behave the same as it did previously. Overall it is more intuitive than Microsoft's default policy manager. I have seen this program running in Best Buy and Sam's Club around town too.

I remember seeing this application in action now that you mention it. Thanks a lot!
