How to Use Kiosk Mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=154780

[[-k Kiosk mode – a great mode for demonstrating a site. It prevents
users from clicking away to irrelevant sites. In this mode there are
no toolbars, and only one screen. Set the site you plan to demo as
the home page and start in kiosk mode. The only way users can
navigate is by using links present on the screen (no typing in URLs).
Use Alt-Tab if you need to switch to another program, and use Alt-F4
to close the window when you’re finished. ]]

In news:G_idnWI6l7un8c7ZRVny3g@xxxxxx,
Oakridge <norwichhouse.oakridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
We have half a dozen public access computers which are a bit vulnerable.
'DeepFreeze' is loaded which restores settings but users can still play.

Is it possible to set up a user profile with no icons or start menu and
have Internet Explorer run in non-changeable full screen mode.

Thanks in advance.
