account trapping

Back in the day, we used to restrict users to a particular menu using a trap. Does anyone know, is there such a thing in Windows?

I want to leave a monitoring station logged in all day so that I can see the status of the servers. Our monitoring application has to run as Admin to query the server registrys. I want to prevent it doing anything else but I don't want to have to lock the screen out because its real convenient to see it going crazy from the other side of the room.

I can't make it email/page me because its homegrown and doesnt have this functionality yet. Is there an easy way to setup an account with Admin rights but to stop it running any other programs?

Thanks
