You can use Application Launcher in place of Windows Explorer (the default Windows shell) to further restrict user access to applications on workstations. When you do so, the Application Window view replaces the standard Windows desktop.
Open the workstation's system.ini file (typically, c:\windows\system.ini) with a text editor.
Replace the shell=explorer.exe line with the following line:
shell=c:\progra~1\novell\zenworks\nalwin.exe
If you want the Application Window to be maximized when it comes up, add the /max switch to nalwin.exe (for example, nalwin.exe /max).
Save and close the system.ini file.
Restart Windows.
IMPORTANT:Starting Application Launcher under the Application Window shell is not supported. On a Windows 98 machine, doing so can cause general fault protection errors.
You should ensure that Application Launcher is not accidently started. For example, remove the Application Explorer and Application Window shortcuts from the Start menu ( > > ), disable the user's ability to browse to the c:\program files\novell\zenworks directory, and verify that nalwin.exe, nalwin32.exe, and naldesk.exe are not being executed in the user's login scripts (Windows login script, Novell login script, etc.).
On the Windows 2000/XP workstation, run regedit.exe and locate the following setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Change the SHELL value from explore.exe to:
c:\program files\novell\zenworks\nalwin.exe
If you want the Application Window to be maximized when it comes up, add the /max switch to nalwin.exe (for example, nalwin.exe /max).
Close regedit.exe.
Restart Windows.
