I am doing this in my own computer, and i will make a copy of this application on my children's PC, the purpose of this software is to encourage them to gain knowledge. The main problem, is that i don't know how to make my program on top of everything , and make the user unable to get rid of it , until solving the question

Your program can't be on top of everything, unless it is running as a screensaver. Other applications will fight for the right of being the topmost. The login-screen and the desktop are "desktop" objects, capable of showing applications. You'd need to create one (example here[^]) and then run your application in that new desktop. There's bound to be an article on CodeProject that shows "desktop switching", which would be a good place to start* No, not easy if you're new to .NET. --edit *) Found it; Desktop Switching[^]. Contains a desktop-class that hides the complicated stuff.
