It depends on your needs. For a true kiosk app where certain keys and key combinations are disabled as well as the ability to kill certain applications and stop the user from killing your app and Windows, I recommend SWF Studio.
SWF Studio offers the most power for kiosk apps. With one checkbox you get kiosk mode, which disables keys like Alt+Tab for app switching, and disables TaskManager and any way to shutdown Windows. You also get the ability to monitor certain applications and have them shut down as soon as they start. MDM decided to sell a kiosk add-on separately, although someone posted a free add-on in their exchange the same day. Now the exchange is no longer linked from the main site. Coincidence I guess. The "official" solution is $150 (on top of buying Zinc) and you can't try it without contacting their sales dept. FlashProjector has an option to disable TaskManager, though I'm not sure what other capabilities it has in this area. I don't think mProjector has anything built-in for kiosk apps, although someone correct me if I'm wrong. Installers are another way to go. If you know what to shutdown in the registry you can get some kiosk functionality. You'd probably need some helper apps to get some of the other functionality that the wrappers have built into one tool. If you want to check out the 3rd party wrappers, check out their trials and take a look at their docs and forums.
