For a FREE solution, download Flute (flute.zip in most major shareware 
depositories), a macro language that lets you hide windows like the 
program manager, explorer, start button, etc... you _do_ have to program 
it to do all these things, but it's fairly easy if you have a programming 
guru or read the Help file thoroughly =) 

Search for the "Reset Netscape to Homepage" message in the web4lib 
archive, by searching for 'Flute'. Here at our lib we use it religiously 
=)
