aviola7x7 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 ok, for a project at school i'm building a digital jukebox. to make a long story short, i basically need to be able to run iTunes but make that the only program that can run on the computer unless a certain action is taken. What i'm basically trying to say is i need to have iTunes running in a public place but make it so some random person cannot just walk up and start playing solitaire. It's a very similar idea to the way a lot of library computers run as in the ones that are meant only to search for books can only be used for that and without knowing actually how, someone cannot just exit the program and do whatever. I was just wondering how, or even if this is possible. Thanks for the help :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hb_Kai Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Disable the "x, minimize and maximize" buttons from the top of the window and make the application run on start up, disable the task bar and all options in it, that'd probably be the easiest way out of it.
