I need some suggestions on libraries and such to use for a simple website-to-desktop wrapper project in Visual Studio 2010.

The website has been "compiled to HTML", so that the only serverside functionality needed is an AJAX call to send data on user prompt (if there is no valid sever response after X seconds, a javascript timer indicates disconnected from internet). The website will be saved locally and deployed with the wrapper as an msi.

On the frontend, the website uses jQuery/Javascript heavily.

The "wrapper" web browser should not allow the user to navigate outside of the local website, but some script access to history and back/forward button should be helpful. Or, a limited browser address interface, where the user can only navigate to certain locations.

The default WebBrowser control doesn't seem to allow suppression of address bar and control like that, so I am wondering what other options there are.
