IK, Well to tell you the truth I've been wanting to write one of theese for myself for quite some time. Heres what you do: - Prevent escape keystrokes (CTRL ALT DEL, ALT F4 ect) - Size the window to full screen and prevent the user from using the start menu -have the program start at system startup to prevent the computer from being restarted in order to access the system It's that simple! As for hiding the start menu/taskbar, thats as far as I got, I dont know how to do that. Maby I could send you someting by e-mail if anyone else hasen't already done this in VB. -- Marty

Hi, I have not done this coz I never needed it! But you can do it using MACRO Programming which is basically VB coding! One link to the M$ Web is this for general use: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ddkdoc/win95ddk/keycnt_4iif.htm Or for Microsoft Word: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q192/3/20.ASP Which I think you may be able to use in VB! Try and Error! You'll discover the best way soon! Or better yet, do a search on the keyword "Disable Keyboard" while on the M$ site and you will find a very lot of hits! :) Enjoy! :) "Silence is golden, but my eyes still see." -- Masoud Samimi Website: www.geocities.com/samimi73
