limiting user accessibility
Hello,
I'm developing an application that will collectdata through a touchscreen monitors. Essentailly it's an application which administer questionnaires to subjects in my private practice. For privacy, the user will be alone while answering the questionnaire. Even if I make the form to run in full screen mode and even if I make them pop up and modal, the user has stil a chance of touching the "start" button at the bottom of the window and by that way to go around and mess up the computer by deleting anything he/she wants to. I have managed to disable the keyboard but cannot immagine hot to drive the user not to be able to act on the start menu. I can hide the taskbar, but I was looking for some better solution. Hoping to have well explained what I'm looking for, thanks in advance. Rocco |

Hi R.I,m just putting this out there but.Can,t you right click on your
folders as admin sharing and security.Make them all private and when you let the people do the test start up the pc with limited access and run the program in limited.If they try to access any of the programs they will be denied.Hence 2 user accounts.Just a thought.Might work.Then when you want back in restart and have a password protected login.Just trying to help.TERRY.
