settings and properties

[Gerald Myers <geraldmyers@yahoo.com>]

I have a nephew who is autistic - he loves the computer. However, over
a period of time he has grown bored with the applications and is now
into changing the Window's Settings and the Properties of everything
(he has never met a menu he didn't like). Unfortunately he can't tell
you what he did, and his parents are forced to reinstall Windows
(often!!).

My first question - is there some way I can write a program that will
intercept ALL Window calls to the properties menu (both right mouse
button and the keyboard). It would have to be a program that gets the
calls before Windows gets them because I don't want him changing the
screen properties again, or formatting the hard drive.

My second question - this is not really a Builder question, but is
there someway I can stop access to the Settings/Control Panel menu
option on the Start Menu (or even the entire Start Menu).

While I'm on a roll - is there anyway to hide the Recycle Bin (other
than the invisible icon I'm using now). You can only imagine what he
has done with access to that!!

Any help or ideas will be appreciated.
