How do I set up a user account with access to Word & Excel programs only and
have no other programs shown on their desktop or start menu?

Your best bet would be to look at the Shared Computer Toolkit for XP SP2
assuming you are not using XP Pro domain computers. If Shared Computer
Toolkit alone can not do what you want you can give user/group deny NTFS
permissions to the folders that have applications or data that you do not
want them to access but I would not change any folders in the \windows
folder or subfolders. --- Steve
