VB Newbie

I am trying to create an interface that allows users to only select up specific programs. There will be a command button for each selection.
ctrl alt delete, alt-tab and the windows key are disabled.

Can anyone think of a way I can allow users to have multiple applications open and still be able to navigate through them? (without alt-tab) Actually, the easier the navigation the better. Children will be using this.

The Start menu and the taskbar must remain unusable to prevent unwanted changes in the system or access to other programs.

Any help would be great. I have created this in MS Access 97 so far, but am not opposed to an all VB application.

Any advice, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Well, considering that most Adults don't know about Alt-tab or CAD, I don't think you'll have too many children knowing this either.
But back on the subject, you'll need a few API calls to find the applications, switch to the active one, and since children will be using this you'll probably want a simple way to close the applications from within your 'Menu' app.
I'll try to find those soon, I thought I'd start the ball rolling on this in case someone else knows this off hand.
