RE: IE in Kiosk mode

In our case, we did not have local control over corporate policies, etc. So
we wrote a very simple VB app with an embedded IE control. The navigation
was fixed by the VB App to start where we wanted when the VB App started. We
allowed a "Back" and "Home" button, but no other options.

HTH,

Subject: IE in Kiosk mode


I'm playing with some GPO's to deploy a few Kiosky type boxes for use by
the general public to view some internal web sites while in our waiting
rooms.  I started with the common desktop scenarios Kiosk-mode, actually
made it secure by locking down access to the box, software installation,
etc etc etc (why would you let me open up a nonkiosk IE window by right
clicking and install anything I want to the C drive on the default kiosk
policy?)

I need a "back", "forward", "home", and "Print" button.  I can't seem to
make Kiosk-mode IE do this.

Anyone have a solution?  Do I have to give up on Kiosk mode and turn to
IEAK for a custom hacked IE that autolaunches?  I really like the full
screen Kiosk mode of IE but you need a "home" and a "print" button.....
