Simple, lock the desktop.

C#

[DllImport("user32")]
public static extern void LockWorkStation();

In Button.Click event call LockWorkStation()

It's called "user privileges", and you set it in the OS. You can't change those from an application unless the application in question is "run as administrator". You should tread carefully here because the use is well within his rights to write to his own user-specific folders.
