Disable everything in windows except program c#

I've got the following question:

Is it possible te disable everything in windows except the program it's running?

I need to program an application on a touchscreen (fullscreen), where people can fill in a survey.
The only thing they should use is this program. (for protection of the survey anwsers and other secret stuff :p )
And the program should be closed when entering the right password.

So how can I disable everything else but the program I'm running?

Thanks

You should investigate Kiosk Mode. It might not be the right solution for your particular case, but it is an accepted way of restricting users to one application.

Kiosk Mode in IE

Basically you make the application full screen and disable things like the task bar etc.:

Disable the start menu and other stuff through the Group Policy Management for the local computer (run gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Administrative templates -> Start menu and Taskbar).
