You can't. Your application cannot control all of this.

What you're looking for is what's called "kiosk[^]" mode in Windows. Your code cannot set this up.

Disabling the keyboard is easy enough. Unplug it.

Or, if you want to do it the hard way, you'll have to implement a a global keyboard hook and just eat the keys instead of passing them up the hook chain.

They do it by not disabling all that stuff. All of those thing you mentioned are games using DirectX. DirectX is supply a full screen drawing surface, not a normal window.
