Is there a way in Win XP Pro to prevent a user from
exiting a running application by disabling the close
button on the title bar?
 
It would depend on the application. Some, like Internet Explorer, support this.

This app is a Citrix ICA client. We are making a
connection to a Citrix server via the Internet.
 
You'll have to contact the maker's of your Citrix client. Windows does not support the feature you want on 3rd party apps.
 
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem (I'm not familiar with Citrix/don't
know if you need nav bar etc.), but if the question is "How do I run IE in
kiosk mode" the answer is "iexplore.exe -k".

Sorry if I'm way off base.

I used IE as an example of an app that did support not being able close it.
