Need help finding a few policies

dbouton

We are setting up a "kiosk" like computer and I have secured it pretty
well but have a few questions left on a few things I cannot find.

I have IE starting and they cannot shut it down. I want it to always
be maximized but cannot find this policy. They can minimize and
maximize but not X. Is there a way to disable minimize and maximize?

Right now you can see the menu in IE that says edit, view, tools, help.
I do not want any of this to show. I am showing some icons like the
back button, forward button and homepage which is fine. Is this
possible?

Also if I cannot change the IE minimize/maximize is there a way not to
show the Start menu taskbar on the bottom. It's secure and you cannot
do anything but I was hoping to eliminate it all together.

Final question is, is there a way to have a certain user automatically
login when the system starts. Since we will be using only one network
login on this machine we were hoping to have it automatically logon
with that user when the machine boots up.

Thank you for any help on this.

I got the easy one... logging in automatically is a reghack...

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

You need to have the following strings configured
AutoAdminLogon = 1
DefaultUserName = the user name
DefaultPassword = the password

If you want to override the autologon, hold down the shift key as Windows
starts.

Remove the floppy drive and CDROM from the kiosk or it will be compromised.
Having the bios boot only from the hard drive might do the trick but there
are ways to access diskette drives and cdroms if there are in place.
