Software to view Office and PDF documents on a Touchscreen monitor

[scottatwittenberg]

I am trying to setup a touchscreen computer that simply is able to open and display documents that are in a folder.

It is full of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and PDF files.

We don't want anyone to be able to modify the documents.

It would be preferable to open 2 documents side by side.

The monitor is 1920 x 1080.

I can of course, just click into the folder, and open files, but resizing windows, and dealing with extra stuff that comes up in a pain.

I was thinking maybe XBMC, Media Center, Media Portal could work, but they probably won't even open the files I need, and open other things instead.

Thanks in Advance.
