Kiosk PC, OPAC only

Using directions from IUG:



We lock down IE's Internet options with a simple reg hack:

-----------------------IE5Restr.reg--------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001

-------------------------------------------------------

You can also restrict other aspects of IE (NoBrowserClose, NoBrowserContextMenu,
NoBrowserSaveAs, NoFavorites, NoFileNew, NoFileOpen, NoFindFiles, NoTheaterMode,
NoSelectDownloadDir). The "1" in the entry above means it's enabled - use a "0" to disable it and
allow Browser Options.

It takes all of a couple of minutes.
Reg files for enabling and disabling various options are below.




-----------------------IE5Restr.reg--------------------

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserClose"=dword:00000000
"NoBrowserContextMenu"=dword:00000001
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001
"NoBrowserSaveAs"=dword:00000000
"NoFavorites"=dword:00000000
"NoFileNew"=dword:00000001
"NoFileOpen"=dword:00000000
"NoFindFiles"=dword:00000001
"NoSelectDownloadDir"=dword:00000000
"NoTheaterMode"=dword:00000001


This file ENABLES the restrictions, the one below DISABLES them:


-----------------------IE5NoRestr.reg--------------------
