I have a system on which I only want 1 application to be available. I don't want there to be any access to the browser, explorer, system settings, nothing. Just the one program.
Easiest way to do that?

You can alter the local security settings. Google it. I haven't done that since Windows 98.

Why Windows 7, then? What's the program? Is it available on Linux, or another minimal operating system?
Windows 7 is a lot of overhead for just one application.

Windows 7 is what is installed, and they want it locked down.

Oh.
Well, I haven't done it, but you should be able to make a user account that has almost no rights. Then set every application but the one you want them to be able to run to require admin privileges.
There may be an easier way, but that would work.

Do what I said...
Unless they ditched it in Windows 7, you can do everything they want on that machine.
Just looked and it's under Admin Tools, Local Security Policy.
Everything you want to do is there.

Oh, you can set Disallow as the default for all programs with one click there! Nice!
