Can this be done?

Monday, October 23, 2006 by Mischah | Discussion: DesktopX

Can you disable ALL access to any system function in DesktopX?

I want to be able to only use DesktopX with a clock, a weather gadget and 4 shortcuts to pre-installed programs. No other access to anything. Can I disable the default left click function completely?

This feature is only available in DX versions prior to 2.5 I think and the Enterprise edition without scripting.

You can tweak the registry as well to disable the Windows Keys & Right-Click (even though that has no effect when running DesktopX). The Windows key is an important one though as pressing the Windows Key + Pause/Break will bring up the System Properties, saying that, pressing Ctrl + Esc brings up the Start Menu as well... So it would be pretty difficult to completely lock a system down to just the desktop. You may want to delve into more Windows specific articles about locking down a system
