Hello, Is there a way to delete/deactivate/shut-off the program manager so that only the program that is run at the moment when windows is run will be active in windows for example: C:>win <filename> The place were I work we are installing windows....However, not everyone have the same knowledge/ability about windows. So there is a confusion/frustration coming from the more novice users when the computer is all disturbed by the more experienced users. So I was wondering if we can somehow takeout the program manager icon so that users will be restricted to the application that was ran at the beginning. Is this idea possible? Is this a good way to do it? Is there a better way of doing things so that the screen will not look so busy? Also is there an application program for windows that will restrict user access to windows, let's say by account and access-level? Sincerely, Scott K. Stephen

You could try replacing the following line in the WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI file (don't remember which one...): Shell=PROGMAN.EXE with Shell=<application>.EXE I think this is documented in some of the .TXT-files that came with Windows.
