Would the kiosk mode of your favorite browser be of any use to you?
"iexplore -k <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.yourcatalog.com">www.yourcatalog.com</a>" would start up IE in kiosk mode and
launch your catalog. If your catalog doesn't contain any external
links, this would keep the user at your catalog. A major down-side,
though, is that, being a kiosk mode, it takes over full screen and
doesn't allow for easy switching to other programs if the computer is
multi-use.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have been using the free version (v.1) of
Public
Browser for our public catalogs. The old version is now causing
problems
with our newly updated automation system so I’m thinking it’s time
to either upgrade to version 2 for $125 a year or move to a different
product. I would really like to use a “free” product so with
that in mind are then any suggestions. We basically want to keep users
locked
in to our web based catalog (Polaris 3.3). We already use group policy
to
lock the computers down and alter IE7, but I don’t know if I can use GP
to do what Public Browser did. <o:p></o:p></p>
