Restrict application and internet access to a single workstation

Hi Experts.

I was hoping for some advice for setting up a single public computer (in a children's orthodontic clinic) with access to one proprietary full-screen application (that requires internet access to one site).  The computer is basically dedicated to this application.

The computer is a HP 6000 Pro all-in-one running Windows 7 Pro (on a server 2008 domain).

In the past, I have tried a similar setup on a Dell touchscreen all-in-one PC running Arlington Kiosk Browser but the children were always able to 'sidestep' the in-built security measures.  We don't want them exiting the app and opening IE (for example).

There has been a suggestion of additionally restricting access by limiting things by DNS, but this is only a partial solution.

I know that I could script the application to open on login etc and create a restricted user on the domain, but I was hoping for some experienced folks to point me in the right direction.

Thanks everyone!
Aaron.

Sorry, I'm still getting the hang of EE.  I asked the question when the issue was a higher priority, then the user requirements changed slightly delaying me from testing solutions.  Thanks for all who offered assistance.  I will use the suggestions, but I just can't put a time on it.
