Not using the Windows command terminal, AFAIK. Possibly try using DOSBox? It basically creates a virtual DOS machine within XP. I'm not sure if you can prevent multiple instances of that either, though.

Other possible solution might be, if only a limited number of programs are needed on the computers, have all of them run fullscreen at startup, then get rid of any shortcuts and such, and just have users Alt-Tab between them. This would only be practical if it's a set few programs that are needed, though.
