Yes, there is a Kiosk mode in windows.... I did this last year let me find my notes

I remember,

You have to make IE the primary shell instead of explorer, I think this may help. It may be easier to NOT use GPO in this circumstance

OK so if I make IE the shell, can I further restrict by only allowing one internet site and no others?

Yeah just change the security settings to HIGH and add only that one page to the trusted sites and then lock the control panel through the security policy so no others can be added.

I am just now able to work on this, been too busy with other things.

I was trying to go the IE shell route, but all this crap about repositories, and components and stuff is making my head hurt. I can't even find the component designer and component database manger and all that crap on my system.

Am I overlooking something that makes this easier than group policy???
