Magnus,
 
Thanks for the reply.  We looked at changing the shell but we lose the
functionality of the taskbar.  Users would have to Alt + Tab key when they
switch between applications.  The desktop is completely locked down the only
problem is when a user resizes the taskbar it resizes the web browser that
they are no allowed to resize.  Once they reboot the browser is set back to
it's original size.  I know that in Windows XP you can lock the taskbar but
I have not seen this in Win2K

if you are just using this for Nfuse how about replacing the shell
(explorer.exe) with Internet Explorer   It might be easier

Good Afternoon, 

We are developing a stripped down Windows 2000 kiosk image.  This image will
be used to log onto a Nfuse Portal.  The only problem we are having is
trying to disable moving or resizing of the Windows taskbar.  I want to lock
it in at the bottom of the screen and not allow users to move or resize the
task bar.   Anyone had success with this before.  Thanks in advance.
