Interface for small children

[Jordan]

I remember a while back there was a special shell you could load for kids so
that they only had big icons of their progams and a special desktop for
shutdown and other features. Does anyone know if there is a feature, shell,
or program that makes it very easy for 3-5 year olds to start up their
programs. I believed it was called MOM or something like that.

If not, does anyone have any suggestions on custom destops for kid so they
don't go trashing the file system by clicking every thing they see until the
PC explodes.

I think you mean MS Bob rather than Microsoft Office Manager (office toolbar in very old versions).

It is no longer available. This may be a german language version - you'll have to suck it to see. It doesn't work on XP I believe. http://www.winhistory.de/downloads/dateien/MSBOB.EXE
