| Start Terminal Services with one application |
| Terminal Services (TS) are a good way to control the user's environment. By default, in a normal |
| Windows environment, users get the desktop, the Start menu, and all applications. In most cases, |
| users don't need all of the applications installed; they usually just need a few applications, which |
| can be easily done with profiles and Group Policy. |
| Sometimes, you only need one application running. To do this, simply run Active Directory Users |
| And Computers if you have a Windows 2000 domain, or Local Users And Groups if you use a local |
| account. Then open the Properties dialog box for the user and go to the Environment tab. Check the |
| Start The Following Program At Logon and the path to the program in the box provided. Now, |
| whenever the user logs on, he or she will only get the application you specified on the tab. If the |
| user closes that application, he or she will be logged out. |
| Of course, this doesn't mean the user cannot run any other application. To prevent the user from |
| running any other applications, you still have to use profiles and Group Policy. |
