XWindow startup ---


can anybody help me in following prob...
1. configure a pc to display ONLY browser window with the hotmail.com web
page

2. When the pc is turned on, its must go dirrectly to the browser display after
booting...u should not need to touch any controls (keyboard, mouse) on the
computer after the turning on the power in order to get hotmail.com
3. The user must not be able to exit from the display (terminate the browser or
exit the graphical display) or minimize or resize the window


Please tell me how to configure the above requirements..
Thanks.
