Hello,

i need to hardening My windows 2000 desktop.

When a user log on to my machine, start IE with a particular
url and the user can' t :
1: Use the keyboard
2: use taskbar
3: Redirect the browser on C:\
-[snip]-

Microsoft indicates a way to do this, Win95 is discussed but AFAICT XP
works as well.  This does *not* disable the keyboard, but that should
be trivial to accomplish.

If the keyboard is disabled, and the browser is working in this
"kiosk" mode, I don't believe it is possible to redirect the browser
to 'C:\' or any other URL that is unlinked.  However, one should
always test oneself.
