Is there any way to block the user from force quitting?

I am trying to setup a mac as a web kiosk in a public place and have found
users that simply force quit to get to the desktop.

I am using OS 9.x

May I suggest the Google search "block force quit on macintosh os 9" which
will turn up the following link (among many others):

It is a virtual keyboard for kiosks that allows you to block keystrokes such
as force quit.

I have answered my own question!

For those others that need a solution, check out this nice little utility...

Follow this link:

It disables force quit for select application and optionally prompts for a
passowrd. Neat stuff!
