I am trying to fins out if there is a way so that my own application can be
started up as the first program and takes "control" of the system.  Microsoft 
tells me that running my program as a shell (without PM) is a no-no.  So one
possibility could be to install a C program that grabs the mouse and simulates
the selection of my program which then kind of takes over the screen.  I also
should make sure that the Talk list selector is not available (how?). 
Anyway, is any of the above possible?
