I just did this, and there's a couple components. I used a script to
launch IE without the menus, and then published the script. I'll send
it to you off list - if anybody else wants it let me know. The script
only goes so far though, it uses VB to create an IE window without menus
and such. I then used a policy (local machine policy in this case, but
GPO would work) to restrict a lot of the menus and such. I set it to
show some of the common buttons, since users don't usually know keyboard
shortcuts. To restrict where they can browse, I set IE (through the
policy) to use fakeproxy:80 for all internet connections, and then added
the sites that I want them to use to the "Do not use proxy for these
addreses" list. So, if they try to go to *.mycompany.com, it's in the
list and it will work. If thy hit *.msn.com, it'll try to use the proxy
and fail. =20

Subject: [THIN] OT - Internet explorer kiosk mode
Anyone know if it is possible to start IE in kiosk mode (ie without
menus,
toolbars etc), but in a normal window rather than full screen? Some of
our
users need to access a web based app through IE, but we want to restrict
what they can do and where they can browse, without expecting them to
remember ALT + F4 to exit the app.....
