Hello All,

I am interested in writing an .NET application that is started whenever the
machine is powered up.  The machine is a WindowsXP system or Windows 2000
system.

When this custom program is started, it would display a user interface to
interact with the user.  The user would not able to switch to other
applications that may currently be running concurrently nor would the user
be able to start a new program nor exit the custom program itself.

Would someone point me to a direction to where I can get sample code of
similar functionality or where to start doing my research.

Thanks

Hi buzlite,

Note, if you try to override the shell and it does not work as expected, you can launch regedit from the File->Run menu in Task Manager

Happy coding!
