Restrict XP embedded to just one application

[Pelle]

Is it possible to restrict an computer/account in an GPO
or otherwise to reach just one application. We have same
computers on trucks that should autologon an just start
the truck-application. The user shuold not be able to
reach the desktop, internet or something else. Then you
terminate the application should the computer be turned
off.

Hi Pelle£¬

Thanks for your posting here.

You can run regedit.exe on the client to change the following registry
value.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell

By default, the registry of Shell is set to Explorer.exe. You can change it
to another application.

Wish it helps.
