title: Making a program/game launcher on windows PCs
body: <p>I would like to make a windows application, for a gaming club/internet caffe, which would run when Windows starts, cover the whole screen, including the taskbar, and prompt the user to log in. Regular users would be able to play games and use browsers and skype, while only the admin would have access to the hard drive and the desktop.
  I would be targeting the Windows XP operating system, and would like to use C#.</p>
  
  <p>I have a couple of problems with starting this project:</p>
  
  <p>1) How to make the application cover/hide the entire desktop and taskbar and prevent the users from minimizing the application or starting the task manager and using it to terminate the application?</p>
  
  <p>2) How do I make sure that, upon Windows startup, my application receives a high priority status and is the first one to launch- even before some of the Windows services get started? Again, I wouldn't want users rebooting the PCs and terminating the app with the task manager.</p>
  
  <p>3) Is there anything I should know about Windows security policies, like some user permission settings required to be set in order for my program to work in the way described above?</p>
  
  <p>I know this is not a question containing any code, but answers to these questions are key for starting to work on the project. </p>
