[QUOTE="xstep, post: 731419, member: 11647"] It sounds like you are wanting to write a kiosk type of application. Also note that the Finder is just an application. It can be disabled and replaced. I suppose you would run the replacement as a special user so that the logged in user wouldn't have kill privileges over it. Cocoa is the obvious development tool, but there are some scripting tools that allow GUI development on the Mac. Also, RealBasic might be a decent choice as it allows development for Mac, Windows and Linux, allowing you to write your code once. Type, "OS X" kiosk, into Google if that is what you are interested it. [/QUOTE]
