I need to limit the machine access in XP to program icons that I put on the desktop and configure. No right click and no creating shortcuts except as local administrator.No start or run and definitly no command prompt

Hello,
Disable right click:
Open up the "run" command (if it is disabled use 'Windows Key' + R)
Type in "regedit" but without the quotations. Then push enter.
Navigate to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
Look for the value name "NoViewContextMenu" (if no such value exists, then just go ahead and create it)
Make sure the type is REG_DWORD
Type in a 0 to disable right clicking and a 1 to enable right clicking.
Restart your computer after the modification.
Disable "New -> Shortcut" Menu in Windows XP:
Open regedit and goto: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.lnk\ShellNew
In right-side pane, you'll see a string value "Command". Double-click on it and delete the complete string from "Value data" box:
When trying to create a new shortcut, the user will receive an error.
As far as start menu options, those can be disabled using policy settings with GPEDIT, check out:
Goodluck
