Security lockdown of Windows XP workstation
Hi guys (and gals),

I'm setting up a 'new' laptop with Windows XP (SP3) for work which I need to lockdown, security-wise, to the point where only two users can log in (a renamed admin account and a standard user account)\
when the user account logs in, I need it to be so that they have access ONLY to three or four programs, no ability to make any changes whatsoever on the computer (aside from entering data into a SQL database from one of the programs).... preferably have it with no taskbar, with only the icons for the programs on the desktop.

I've already set it up so they have no access to internet sites other than those I specify, and no ability to add or remove programs, drivers or change settings, as well as renaming the admin account etc etc, all I have left to do is restrict the program access of the standard user... any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
~tutigan
