Re: Windows Internet Kiosk

In addition to locking down the machine using Group Policies, 
look at clean slate http://www.fortresgrand.com/ and the Microsoft shared computer toolkit 
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sharedaccess/default.mspx. 

Set up a task to restart the computer every evening. 

They both will revert a disk back to its saved configuration upon restart.   There are other resources and products, 
libraries and universities have had to deal with this problem for years..Good Luck

Hello Everyone...

Not really sure if this is the right place, but we are looking into
setting up a internet kiosk for our staff to use, but we will need to be
able to login  by username, but most of the users don't normally have
internet access, does anyone have any experience setting up windows /
Linux to do this? I really need it locking down to just a browser...

I'm thinking GP with a mandatory profile, but im not to sure how to lock
down the browser, I cant really use IE in kiosk Mode, as I need them to
have an address bar, but I don't want them installing anything or
changing any settings on the machine.

Thanks in Advance
