    Does anyone know of a way of setting up IE when it is operating in Kiosk mode of being able to ensure that subsequent windows opened from links on the page are also opened up in Kiosk mode.

    Scenario is we are setting up a PC for members of the public to use a PC to access our Internat banking site. We don't want them to be able to get access to the OS and IE toolbar (Joe Average won't know how to close IE in kiosk mode). The problem is that susequent windows being opened are opening up in normal view.

    I realise that setting local policies would exclude anyone from accessing the OS but my boss dosen't want to go down that path yet.

    The PC is running IE 5.5 on Win2K Pro.

    Cheers

    Solution

    Hiya Daizy,

    Mean't to post to let people know that I found a solution. Through a bit of research I found a great little piece of software called Public Web Browser which solved all my problems. It's an enhancement to IE which enables you to really lock down a PC for Internet access. Thoroughly recommended.

    Nice to have a win for a change.

    OzBoy :cool:
