I am trying to setup an Internet Kiosk.I do not want anyone to minimise,can't use any command in the file options to close the displayed website.I have tried to use the MMC console to create restrictions on the IE.But could'nt find any option to prevent users from minimising the IE.Can someone help?
 
Hi ,
Forgive me if I have misunderstood the question...
From what I gather it looks like you are trying to run IE as a kiosk and
prevent users from minimizing IE...
Have you tried using the following command line to start IE:

iexplore -k

This is the specific command for running IE in kiosk mode and does not have
the minimize options available for users
