Well, you could make your app full screen and TopMost, but that won't stop your user from bringing up a task manager.

I think the user can still press ctrl+alt+delete and bring up task manager that way?

I have no idea why your application needs to kill explorer.
Why do you want the user from accessing other applications?
I would be really unhappy if I were a first time user with no username/password and I couldn't get out of your application..

If the user has to log in to use your application then you need to specify a flow to your application: first they log in, then the main app loads.

One approach to doing this is to add a module to your application and create a method that will implement the flow that you require: display a log in dialog and if it is successful display the main form of the application...o therwise exit. This method will be the application entry point. You will have to uncheck the "Enable application framework" in order to use your module and set your method to the entry point of your application (right click on your application in the solution explorer and select "properties ").
