Prevent Closing Program

[John]

I'm trying to prevent users from using alt-f4 to close
internet explorer on a Windows XP workstation. I'm
running IE in Kiosk mode. Basically, I'm running this
workstation for one purpose...It autologons on to a url
that needs to be running at all times. I want to prevent
users from breaking out of IE.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions

Right click in the right pane and select New, DWord value. Name it
NoBrowserClose. Double click the value you just created and set it to 1.
This is a machine wide restriction.

For a single user, log on to their desktop and make the same change, but in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER. You may also want to see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Tips,
Advanced Registry Editing if you need to apply this restriction to multiple
profiles.

Last, but not least, you'll need to restrict access to Task Manager.
