The easiest and simplest way to shut out the distractions consists of 2 parts:
1.Remove all panels and put iconic links to whatever you want your pupils to have access to on the desktop. 2. Use single-button mice (i.e. left-click only) - not terribly original idea - pinched from Macintosh - I believe that MAC USB mice should work with PCs with USB ports; although haven't tried that yet. This means that the users will not have access to contextual menus allowing them to access the file structure. Coming from the UK; the country where the government dictates what is and isn't good for its citizens (unlike the USA, where people are allowed to use their brains) I don't have any real moral qualms about being a control-freak as far as my 6-9 year-olds are concerned!
