Using policy editor you can lock the machine down.

I think Tweak UI can log the machine automactically, Then have a complete lockdown with one Icon on the desktop - The app you want to run.

Unlike Windows XP, Lock My PC can display different lock screens (including transparent lock screen) - it allows to use your computer as a presentation machine - you can display your own information for your clients and nobody will access your desktop.

Locking a PC while still displaying information

The transport department here has location stransponders fitted to all the company vehicles. Locations are shown in real time on a large screen in one of the offices, fed from a PC running the supporting software. As company policy is for unattended PC's to lock themselves after 10 mins this keeps blanking the screen since the PC is not used for anything else.

Does anyone one know a way to lock the PC while still displaying the data, preferably without having to spend any money on it or physically removing the the keyboard and mouse.
