I have our public computers locked down pretty tight with a GPO. My only
problem is the users are hitting F1 to launch the Windows help file then
from there they are able to access a command prompt and other things like
games. How can I disable the Windows Help File?

Is there also a way to disble the opening of an explorer window when they
double click on Programs off the Start Menu?

You could see if removing their Execute permission on
%SystemRoot%\System32\WinHlp32.exe does the trick.

Unfortunately the application they need to run has a help file they must
have access too.
