Re: Kiosk Mode for IE6

Hi Again,

Interestingly, you can display an explorer bar or the search pane in your
kiosk window. First open a normal instance of IE and select the Explorer Bar
from the View>Explorer Bar menu. Close the browser to save the changes. Open
IE in kiosk mode...
Ofcoarse this does not work for toolbars.

This may be an application where you can place your site navigation menu in
a side bar an utilize the horizontal screen space of wide screen displays.

Your question led me to some interesting experimentation...

Regards.

With the release of XP SP2, along with IE 6.0 SP2 there is a problem
for Kiosks based on a web server that require full screen - the status
bar no longer can be turned off (as far as I can tell). By editing
the registry, you can turn off the FEATURES_WINDOW_RESTRICTIONS
settings, but the status bar remains (contrary to what Microsoft says
in their documentation). I will need to re-write my entire
application to use Opera, Firefox or another browser if I cannot find
a work around. The browser is never pointed to anything other than a
dedicated server on an intranet (not public). Anyone have any ideas
on how to get rid of the status bar in FULL SCREEN (kiosk) mode?
