    Hello experts I want to run only one program in windows xp. After the user turns on the computer he or she should directly go to the system. After he closes the system the computer should shuts down. He or she should not be able to go to the windows environments. Is this possible?

    You *COULD* create a .bat file that executes the program (points to the .exe file) - and put the .bat file in the STARTUP folder.

    That would solve some of your problem, as soon as the computer starts up it will execute the program.

    You can read up on .bat files here:

    Yeah do what he said with the batch file and prevent the explorer.exe from running on startup(the desktop screen ex. the start/toolbar menu on the bottom and all the desktop icons)

    Im pretty sure that would work

    They could manually run explorer.exe through the task manager ;) Or by pressing WINDOWS+R.

    What do you mean not loading the Windows after turning the computer on? You mean adding more options and alternatives to the operating systems panel which is seen in the DOS mode? You can edit that from the config.sys file if I am not mistaken.

    Hai friends, Adding .bat file into startup will automatically execute the file but it will load into the windows environment. I think speedy81 do not want the user to see the windows environment.
