Sharif; We do something very very similar to this...sadly, we do it with reg hacks on individual users (since we don't have AD here yet -- stop yelling at me, I'm working on it ;)) Currently, we have no context menus, remove file and edit menus from IE, cannot create new icons on the desktop, and various other limited things to remove items from My Computer and the start menu Note these are for some clinical workstations -- for other areas where we really need to be strict, we've managed to enforce some policies (since they're connecting to 2000 Server via Terminal Services) If you need the reg hacks to at least see which sections of the registry need to be modified, let me know and I'll paste them into an email...

RE: [ActiveDir] kiosk setting
You might want to take a look at this: http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/34389/Windows_Tip_Kiosk_Mode_for_IE.html Or this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=154780 I'm not sure if doing this via GPO is the best track anyhow since if I was building a Kiosk, I wouldn’t want it as part of my domain, but rather a stand alone box. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharif Naser Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2005 10:31 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] kiosk setting Hello exports, how can i do the following in group policy: 1.
