I create games for my students to play on the computer but I dont want them wandering around the other programs how do I force them to stay on the program I want them to use and not wander off to other parts of the computers system?

Better discipline / or watch their screens as they play.
I don't know if you really can. Except forhaving it fullscreen, you'd need to disable alt-tab, alt-F4, windows button, start-menu button, ctrl+alt+del, the actual on/off button, reset button, power cord etc. effectively disabling the computer, which I hope you can't. Cause it would be a nasty feature to abuse!
I guess one way would be to only have the game and the bare necessities to run them installed on the computer (nothing else for them to wander off to)
Another way I guess would be to run the game full screen and remove the keyboard (providing your game can be played using only a mouse and/or a joystick)
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Remove the border so they can't move the window, then make the app always run on top. If they close it then that's too bad for you, but if they try to open something else, it will open behind the game so it won't be very effective, and no border means they can't move the window.
