This is related to my previous question. Apparently I didn't know what I thought I knew..
Like said in my last post, I am looking to make a kiosk where when it starts up, it goes straight into iexplore without loading up explorer.exe.
I set the current logon shell to iexplore, but that didn't work.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] Shell"="iexplore.exe"
perhaps somebody could help me back on track?
well, that can't work unless you add the path to iexplore.exe to the environment variables, or change the value of 'Shell' to:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
you may have to press ctrl + alt + del to logon.
According microsoft support the value should be iexplore -k http://www.yoursite.com
And maybe autologon could help.
Well, that should just work. The only step you are missing is automatically logging in.
Though, if you want to go for a secure kiosk solution, try SteadyState, it's free.
Why didn't How can I prevent explorer starting as a shell in a kiosk setting help?
You may be better off trying to load something like Firefox. iexplore and explorer are very tightly interwoven.
