I'm currently looking for different registry "hacks" (for lack of a better term) to disable and lock down a somewhat public computer. Here is the setup. WinXP Professional + touch screen case with a 40"+ plasma/tft. (I don't know which to tell you the truth)
I need the "user" - basically anyone with a finger, to be able to navigate around a webpage on this display, but that is IT.
The computer itself is hidden in the ceiling, so no worries about someone doing a hard reset.
I would imagine I would need the start bar hidden, if there were some way to disable the IE window from minimizing that would be nice as well...
This system was set up many years ago, before I started working here.
Cliffs: Start bar disabled
Desktop icons disabled
Force the IE browser open. That's "it"
BTW: I know they used a VNC program to remote in before, but beyond that I am clueless. I am also using google, I just have a feeling I won't find all the info I need written down, especially procedures, I mean I need the IE window to open before I disable other things...
Thanks for the help all.
