Replacing open/save dialogs
-
I want to prevent access to windows explorer when the user is using my app. Therefore, I have created a new desktop to run my app on. This way even though he can run explorer, he cannot practically use it. However, if from my app's open/save dialogs the user right-clicks and selects the explore option, he gets a new instance of explorer running on my desktop.:^) My question therefore is how do I prevent this? As far as my app goes, I can think of replacing the standard open/save and browse for folder dialogs with custom made ones. However, my app uses certain third-party resources for which I cannot do the same. Can I then somehow "hook" these dialog boxes, and prevent the user from running explorer. Any other ideas on achieving my end result are welcome. Thanks!:)

Why? What is it that you are ultimately trying to prevent access to?

My application is used in critical applications. Therefore, normal users are not allowed to use anything outside of my app. Not even calculator! To get access to other applications, I might provide a password-protected option to them.
