Most games go into "full screen" mode when they do this, but I'm not sure how to set this up. You might find something in a game developer list if no one else knows.
 
However, alt-tab will still send them back to the desktop, which may or may not be what you want. In my experience, it's very rude to limit what a user can do to that extent.
 
What you need is a lockdown with active directory. They can click on start but it won't do anything that your configuration won't allow. Damn annoying for the user.
