Locking down a stand-alone 2000 Server with Group Poicy

Apologies if this is slightly off topic, but I have a stand-alone laptop running windows 2000 and it will be used for training external customers. I've setup a user account which they will use to log in to the machine and run our company application. I need to ensure that this user account can't do anything on the laptop other than run the application. Things like the run command, task manager, explorer, control panel etc all must be disabled.

I was wondering what would be the best way to achieve this without purchasing external software, I've played around with the group policy editor snap in, but all the setting then apply to the administrator account also. Has anyone got any suggestions, I found windows help pretty confusing and geared towards group policy for domains rather than stand-alone machines.

Many thanks, Al
