What things inside you want to control Time while user logged in Sites they can go This is really important to choose right technology.
If you want to control their work times - create Windows Service that will be able to LockWorkstation() (from Win32 API).
If you need to block some sites, install actions, Task Manager access (so users can't override things) - you must do administrators work, no need to create new application here.
BTW, if you setup client machines so they are running under Guest account - they will not be able to hurt system much.

Hi!
Why do you need such system-controlling application Hope you not going to try to write some virus
Anyway, you can do this by many ways: create driver, create service add to registry information to start application at system startup time... All depends on what do you need...
And one more question - what do you want to control

If i was you i would replace the explorer. exe with my application.. so windows will stat your app.. and then you decide if you want the user to see or not explorer.exe ..
Create.. driver wow that would be really nice.. but i think is way way too complicated..
Another option could be to make in registry the RunOnce an entry that point to your app .. and every time your app will be closed to rewrite that value in registry.. But this is LOL not very good.. i would just recommand it for testing it..
Another option could be to modify the kernel32.dll and add some "nice nice" code there.. if you know what are you doing..but be carefull i once played with kernel32.dll it wasn`t really a nice exprience...

and like i sad i choose to delete the explorer... nut just rename it .. coz a more experinced user will pass over..
