Allowing Access to Approved Apps

I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction, please.

I understand how you can give a user access to on particular application
through Group Policy. What I am wondering is if you can give users access to
a group of five applications, which they can choose from. I am hoping to not
give them access to the desktop at all, just a menu group of the approved
apps.

Is that possible? Any tips on that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Grant

RE: Allowing Access to Approved Apps

try to launch a batch file like that :

@ECHO OFF
REM - LABEL INDICATING THE BEGINNING OF THE DOCUMENT.
:BEGIN
CLS

ECHO 1 Exit
ECHO 2 Calc
ECHO 3 Notepad

REM - THE BELOW LINE GIVES THE USER 3 CHOICES (DEFINED AFTER /C:)

CHOICE /N /C:123 /M "PICK A NUMBER (1, 2, or 3)"%1

REM - THE NEXT THREE LINES ARE DIRECTING USER DEPENDING UPON INPUT
IF ERRORLEVEL ==3 GOTO THREE
IF ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO TWO
IF ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO ONE
GOTO END
:THREE
notepad.exe
GOTO BEGIN
:TWO
calc.exe
GOTO BEGIN
:ONE
exit
:END
exit
