I need to provide a kiosk like choice of programs similar to the old program "at ease". (a user clicks on a program and it launches and when the program is closed the computer returns to the program menu)
I need to prevent accidental damage to the computer.
The computer will be used with preschool age children so I am not concerned with malicious attacks from the students.

1. Create a user group called "Kiosk"
2. Create a user called "kiosk_user"
3. Create a Local Security Policy for the Kiosk Group that only displays the preferred icons, applications and desktop background (if desired). Restrict file, drive and application access as required and lastly restrict shutdown and restart priveleges to Administrators group only.
Lastly, test the security configuration before going live.

just give the kids a restricted user account. The most they will be able to do other then run programs is change there password(admin can always reset it in case they forget) and view files they mave have created. They wont be able to install anything or do anything harmfull to the computer. This doesn't protect it from viruses from surfing the internet(just thought i'd mention that even though it doesn't sound they'll be doing any surfing)

Go to start-->Computer Management-->Admin tools.
Look for Computer Management, double click it.
Look for Local users and groups. Click on it.
In the right panel right click and make all your users. (Names)
Give them their rights and Privileges and all is good and happy in your world. Mess around and learn in there, you can always delete and start again.
Once their names are in you can teach them about pass words easy for them and their first names are best as they are you for log in. good passwords would be birthdays/ middle names/moms name/favorite color/favorite four numbers, don’t be afraid to be creative on how much they might be able to remember.
Ask them what they think is a good password for them. Have a vote give the winner a gift. That way they learn a bit about democracy and don’t need to get to deep into it.
Have fun being god, (A term Administrators use having control over the office)

attempt restarting the computing gadget. on the initiating-up show screen the place you type on your password there might desire to be a help menu highlighting a splash in undemanding terms for an occasion like this. i'm hoping you had performed the replace questions while picking your password.
