Define "all the system."  It's your system.  You don't have random folks
walking up to the keyboard and typing away.  You get to control which apps
get run by properly configuring your system.

>is there a way to do this?

There are probably thousands of ways to do this.  Which makes sense
depends on what security threat you are actually trying to mitigate,
assuming one actually exists.
