I want to stop users from closing an application I have running all of
the time. It does not run it the system tray, it will only minimize to
the task bar. I want to at least force a confirmation before closing
or, have a program that will monitor selected applications and
automatically restart them if they are closed.
I am running XP.
TYhanks,
Chris Brown

Chris...

Assuming you are the administrator on the system, have you 
tried right-clicking on the program's executable file and
selecting Properties, then, going to the Security tab and
denying all permissions except to the Administrator and
System?

I agree with the commenters below, is there a reason why you do not
simply go to START - LOG OFF which brings up a window to SWITCH USERS.

It takes all of about 10 seconds. Before you get up from the chair,
switch to the user that is sitting down after you. If they don't have
a user profile, create one, or let them all use the GUEST account.

To see those options, go to the Control Panel and select User Accounts.

Let us know.

log off when you are away from the computer, and have other users log
on with their user id..

You can get programs that will minimize any other program to the tray.
That may help a little.

Hi, you can just click on log off "Switch User" and that keeps all the
programs running as-is while someone else logs on their s/n and do
whatever they want. Disadvantages, it slows the computer down for the
person using at that point because there is a program and resources
being used by your usernames. You got to make sure your s/n has a
password on it, or someone else can just logon and close the program.
