I have setup my shell for the user login to launch I.E. in kiosk mode.
The only problem users could still do things like ctrl + O or ctrl + N.
How do i stop them? I have used winguides to disable everything else
possible. This is my last problem.

thanks in advance...
 
is there a regkey i can use to get the same effect? I already built my
image and have set alot of things up, would prefer to not rebuild.

thanks

Thanks for the NoFIleNew and Open...

The checkbox in target desinger didn't help though (which seems i'm not
the only one witht that problem).

I went in and remove access to Tools -> Internet Options and all it's
menu's. But the only things left are pop-up blocker and Manage
add-ons. Since SP2 you an edit those rigth from the Tools Menu. If
possible i just want to get rid of all the Menu's.

every now and then, when a question about [internet] explorer option is
asked,
the standard answer is to go to target designer and tick the check boxes, I
hate
these manual operation, I prefer leave default in target designer and
configure my
system during FBA with a syconfig.inf, this way, thing are done
automatically.

I don't catch exactly what you want, but try the following key
HKU,".DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions","NoBrowserOptions",0x00010001,1

note that the key is HKU, this mean is it should be done in a early phase
(before the first reboot
I put in phase 3899)
otherwise, you should put HKCU instead, but it will configure the courant
user.
HKU, .default put in early phase will be inherited by ALL users.

a chinese proverb says rather teach someone to fish then offer him fish, you
may want to
learn how to monitor yourselve the registries when a a setting is changed.
please use inCtrl5, www.xpefiles.com contains the component.

don't ask me how to put registries in phase 3899 :-(
