    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.....
