It's complete speculation, but they may be getting in by right-clicking
on the Task Bar. You can get the the Task Manager that way. I'm not sure
exactly how you're hiding the Task Bar, but it might be possible to get
to this feature even if there is a window over it or if it is visible
for even a small fraction of time. You need to find a way of completely
removing the Start menu and Task Bar.

Somehow people are able to stop the demo loop and get to Windows.
Are there security features of Projectors that make this less likely?
How do you think people are accomplishing breaking in?
Malicious pranks include deleting all folders from the hard drive and, a
new one today, putting a password on Windows so no one can get to the
machine. I know what to do to prevent that, and that is create a low
level account for the account that runs the demo and then putting a
password on the Adminstrator account. I should have done that first,
but I didn't think anyone could get in with nothing but a mouse
connected to the computer with a full screen Projector running.
Any ideas will be most appreciated.
Thank you.
