RE: [ActiveDir]Win XP SP2 kiosk

[Jimmy]

One idea would (without AD tools) is to enable autologin with a local workstaion account. Then edit the registry to run Remote Desktop immediately with a predefined user/TSserver/login, the easiest way IMHO is to run a customized .rdp file and set the path to it in the Run key. Don't forget to lock down the desktop with policies/reg hacks so the user isn't able to logoff, shutdown etc... Well, that's a way a client of mine is doing it, but it's not a strict Kiosk, rather it's a regular client situation... And yes it's a "special case" customer...   Another way (haven't tried it since NT4) is to use the Shell key to use something other than explorer....   Regards, /Jimmy -------------------------------------     Jimmy Andersson, Q Advice AB                  Principal Advisor      Microsoft MVP - Directory Services ---------- www.qadvice.com ----------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cothern Jeff D.
