    Hey guys, long time no see...

    Anyways, in my Fraternity house, we have a computer that controls all of the music and we want to make it so only iTunes can be accessible on the computer. I know that I have seen things like this at places like BestBuy where there introduction thing is the only thing that is ever shown and the user cannot get off of that screen. What would make me able to do this? We are running windows XP.

    Typically they're using IE in Kiosk mode, you can do it with Group Policy in Software restrictions so that the only program that is allowed to run is iTunes...
