Disabling Exit from Netscape v3.01

We have migrated to Netscape v3.01 as our primary user interface on
our library's public workstations.  I would like to prevent users from
exiting Netscape, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do
this.  Our goal is to have everything consistent, so that Netscape
is the only interface people see.  How have other libraries solved
this problem?

I'm still running Windows for Workgroups v3.11; I don't plan to
upgrade to Windows 95 for some time.  I'm using Fortres 101 v2.51
for general Windows security, and IKIOSK v2.0 to disable many of
Netscape's menu items.

 Using IKIOSK, I have tried to disable
Netscape's File|Close and File|Exit choices, as well as being able to
double- click in the upper-left corner of Netscape to exit.  These
measures have not disable exit from Netscape.

I would like to hear from others who have conquered this problem.
Thank you, in advance, for any help you might be able to provide.

 We are using a similar combination of Fortres and Ikiosk in our Infolab. We 
overcame the double -click in the upper left corner to exit by using the 
record function of Ikiosk and disabling it that way. (We also disabled 
alt+tab that way.) As for as disabling the File|Close and File|Exit option 
we had to do this within progman.exe. The system commands available for 
blocking within Netscape did not seem to work for this(?)

I would like to know if you or anyone else with a similar setup has had 
error messages when users attempt to print results of a search and get an 
error

can't read from drive A

 It does not happen every time. it is possible to clear the problem by 
File|Save|cancel.

Alo we get an error message on boot up that it can't find netscape.cia. This 
seems to relate Ikiosk.
