java - How do i creat a program that can stop people from using other programs -


hell fellow programmers, hope can problem have. gave self task design program used in schools. program have registration field , log in field, when student logged in, have couple of options.they check notes have taken previous classes, or "go class". going class achieved teacher generating code , giving them code enter class. since don't want kids messing around during class, wanted them not able access other applications once entered class. have approach solving problem of how implement feature 'lock kids out' of other applications? in advance p.s: thinking kids able bring laptops school , take notes way. - newbie programer

locking people out of environment hard. doubly in windows. in high schools nowadays you're gonna have deal script kiddies find ways outsmart app.

i once worked in college , saw kids there spending more time playing games paying attention classes, made windows service monitor processes in machine. kept black list process names of favorite games , emulators. if such process opened, service pick random amount of time (between 30 , 90 seconds) , start countdown. @ end of countdown, killed process (the kids got hint after 4 or 5 tries). extremely frustrating , infuriating them, found through experimenting more effective @ getting them stop gaming during class blocking games.

so suggestion this: keep white list of allowed processes, , close/block process not on list. bonus if have way school staff add or remove programs list.
