You can selectively disable any drive which would normally appear in a
"Save As..." or "Open" dialog box in Win95 with he TweakUI tool from
Microsoft. In our public stations, we only have the A: drive active. We
let users download whatever, but only to floppies. (CTRL-S in a
Kiosk-mode netscape brings up a Save-As dialog).
To eliminate the 'Explore' option in these dialog boxes (with a right
mouse click) you can rename explorer.exe to some other filename.
To totally get rid of a Start menu and desktop, switch the SYSTEM.INI
file that says SHELL=explorer.exe to SHELL=progman.exe. In Progman
(Program Manager) you can disable the "Tasks" window (which lets you exit
windows and run other programs) by renaming TASKMAN.EXE to something else...
Hope this helps...
