<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>You might also consider not only
running IE in Kiosk Mode but since you already use Group Policy to manage users
and security changing the default shell. If these are not multiple use machines
(IE Public Catalog terminals) You can change the default shell in group policy
from explorer.exe to iexplore.exe. Then run it in kiosk mode as well.
This would give you a windows PC booting to Internet explorer in kiosk mode. If
someone would close it out all they would see is a background. No Start menu,
Icons etc. Then if you use tweak ui or some other auto login script you
can just reboot the pc if someone closes it out and it returns to the normal
PAC state that it was in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any advice would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
