Hi,
I reckon you would have to turn off the START MENU or / and HIDE the "MY COMPUTER" icon.
Not sure how you would do it though.
Trouble is other programs could still open a FileDialog box.
Another thing is you could uncheck "Show Desktop Icons" in the same way as you
would if you right-clicked on the desktop for that menu item. Again in code i wouldn't know how, sorry.

You probably should elaborate on why you want to do this.
For example, if your goal is to restrict user access to certain system resources for a point-of-sale or kiosk system then you should use Windows security policies to restrict the user, not your program code.
