I am setting up a custom user interface and would like to disable the users ability to close a Windows application after it is automatically started on boot. In this case it is Outlook Express. The application cannot be hidden, it needs to be accessable to the user. I have searched some shareware but was hoping there may be an easy solution built into Windows. Thanks, Tim.

I'm not that good in Windows (and there's lots of different ways of closing
an app), but would a batch file that simply starts it again do the trick?

Like this:

:top
start /w "c:\...\outlook.exe"
goto top

Don't forget the /w, otherwise you'll be in trouble...


This has the advantage that if the app crashes it'll get re-started, too.
