    Hi to all, I have an VB.NET2005 application. I want to run the application on windows start up. The user should see only the application screen. All I need is to stop the user to do anything in the system(before my application Run). Later he should be able to exit the application and do other staff(like opening the explorer etc) Is there any registry settings for this?or may be some other method Thanks in advance

        thanks for the reply But I guess it will take some time to run the application.By that time user can do anything(eg: opening MyComputer) on the system. Which I want to avoid for security reason. Is there any method for the same. Thanks in advance

          Try making a windows service instead of a windows application.

            Bad, very bad, your application should never prevent users from working on there pc.

            Beter :) As to how to do this, I'm afraid you can't. the only thing you can try is to have a boot screen in your application that is topmost and fullscreen.
