Cool.

Back in plain old Windows, there was an INI file entry called "Shell". It normally ran the Windows shell, but you could simply substitute your program name for the default entry in the INI file to make people run your program on startup, instead of the usual desktop.

You can do the same kind of thing in NT. Check out the following two links from the MSKB. One is specifically for Internet Explorer, but I suspect it will work with any program path and name you put in there.

Of course, back up that registry before making changes.

Let us know how it goes. I haven't tried this in NT, but it works great in WFWG.

I do not want the user to be able to run any other application whatsoever. Upon selecting (from within the VFP application) to exit the application, I would like the user to be logged off automatically.
