Hello,

I am working on a kiosk application, I just have one last issue.

The application has a webbrowser component, I've managed to restrict most of the things that can make the task bar accesible to the user, such as downloading program/files to the HD, scripts and opening new IE windows.

The problem is that the user may come across a link that opens another program, like the Email default program and thus the kiosk application resizes and the task bar becomes available, making the user to have access to other components from the PC. Is there a way I can disable this program (Email default program)? Programatically from my application (C#) or maybe from the OS.

Thanks!

Have you tried starting internet explorer in kiosk mode?

Thanks RedSon, I didn't know of such feature but I'll look into it.

I also found out that I can delete the Email Programs by manipulating the Registry, it's risky but it can be an option.
