It doesn't make them completely 100% tamperproof but if you install
Shelaunch on a Windows PC you can replace the explorer shell with a
simple list of configurable buttons. We've used it on 300 Windows XP
machines used as dedicated radiology viewers with no security or
tampering issues. If you need more than 5 on-screen buttons I have an
updated version that handles 10.

        I had an all DOS client environment but needed to upgrade  built
many RDP Linux Thinstations that work just fine for most of the shop
floor. I'm having some problems with the rdesktop and com port
redirection. So...

         

        I have a need to build some windows clients. I need them right
locked down tight. Does anyone have any tips for building a windows
client that can't be tampered with? 

         

        Ideally it should function like a kiosk and just load the RDP
and launch the server desktop. Thanks,Joanne
