Disable windows

[Derek]

Here's what I wanna do:
On Windows XP: Show an acceptable useage policy when a user logs on to windows. Until they agree to it, i need to 'disable windows'
[ like when you click Start > shutdown, it shows the shutdown/restart box and everything else turns grey and becomes 'disabled' ]

Anyone got any ideas on how to achieve this ?

This could be done in AMS also ...... with a fre scrpits its possable i did it with a cyber caffee software it disabled eveything uintil commanderd not to.

Look for a dll the dissables keys you also need to look for the stop.exe and start.exe also on here somewhere that will stop taskman from working.

then you just need a bat file in silent mod to foruse shutdown.
you could also limit to should down on named pc's of its for like a work place that users a naming convcenchen.

Thanks for your input guys.
Having thought about it some more i've taken the easy route and set the project window to black kiosk. Now all they see is the AUP in the middle of a black screen.
