Hi Lalit,

Take a look at the ThinLinc Desktop Customizer. TLDC can help you
customize your desktop sessions so that the menus and desktop only
includes the applications you've selected. Here's the documentation for
that:

 https://www.cendio.com/resources/docs/tag/tldc.html

The downsides is that it only modifies the menus, and doesn't stop
someone from actually running other programs, if the user is able to
find them through a file browser or similar.

regards,
Karl
