Require a password to exit a presentation in PowerPoint 2007

I am setting up a workstation for the public to use in our office. PowerPoint seemed an easy choice. All I want them to do is be able to use the links on the screen to open a web page, and then be done with it. However, I dont want them to have the ability to exit the presentation.

Any ideas?

Password protection in 2007 is allowed with 2 forms. A password to Open the presentation, and a password to modify it.

Click the office button
Choose Save as
In the bottom left corner click on the tools button, choose general options.

Here is the 2 choices for passwords as listed above.
Password protect to modify, now the user will not be able to alter or exit the application.
A password won't prevent them from exiting the application.
