C# Programming

Hi,
So I am to design an application with some basic functionality and hardware interface (COMs etc), have decided to use C#.
The System which the app run on will be WinXp, without Internet and it will be a dedicated system to run that app ONLY, nothing else has to be run on it, there will be keyboard/mouse to sue the app but the user is not expected to go elsewhere, not be able to close the app and app should start-up as XP starts, no explorer,task manager etc.
It is for a dedicated POS terminal... can someone here please guide me a bit in the right direction, I am sort of lost as from where to start.
I know I will need to put the app in startup to get it running when system starts and somehow keep explorer from starting, I can capture key sequences and/or disable Windows shortcuts altogether (don't know how), provide a control to shutdown PC from within the app.
Note: the user is not the opponent, he is not deliberately trying to get out of the app, I hope.
Does anyonehave experience with this type of requirement.
