In theory, to prevent access to the Start menu (and thus, all other programs) in Window 95 or NT, you can replace the shell (explorer) with your application. To do this in Windows 95, change the shell entry in the [boot] section of your system.ini file from shell=explorer.exe to shell=yourapp.exe. To accomplish the same thing in NT, you'll need to use the registry editor to change the following value from explorer.exe to yourapp.exe:
Hkey_local_machin / Software / Microsoft / WindowsNT / CurrentVersion / Winlogon / Shell. Your application will be loaded when the machine is booted or after you log on instead of Explorer, and there will be no Start menu to access.

I'm not sure what the implications of doing this would be since I only tested the theory to see if it would work with a simple VFP app. Has anyone else done this?
