Can I make a Windows2000 workstation come up in Internet Explorer and make it to where the user cannot close internet explorer or go anywhere else?

I know that if I put IE in the startup folder it will come up automatically.

You can move your explorer.exe to oldexporer.exe, move your iexplore.exe to explorer.exe and whenever someone logs in, Win2K will run explorer.exe (its set as the default shell). Since that is now Internet Explorer, that will run instead. As far as I know, if you then close IE, it will log the user of. Of course, anyone can do Ctrl-Alt-Del and start the old explorer as a new process so dont let random people have Execute on that. Other way to do it aside from startup is to put it in the Software/Microsoft/Windows/Run registry key but that is almost functionally identical to using the startup folder.

FYI
When I close Internet Explorer it just gives me a blank background and that is it.(Which is fine).

Thanks
