Issues with security

Post by GusCalderon »

Hi folks. I'm trying really hard to erase the PWB history, but short of closing it down and restarting it, it's proving a very difficult thing to do. I've set the following in the ini:

[Inactivity]
InactivityTimer=True
InactivitySeconds=60
InactivityMessageTitle=Warning
InactivityMessageFile=Inactivity.txt
InactivityAction=Executehome
InactivitySoundFile=
InactivityStartOnOpen=False
InactivityShowDialog=True
ResetOnMouseMove=True
ResetOnMouseButton=True
ResetOnKeyboard=True

And in SECURITY, I have the following:
ClearCacheOnHome=True
ClearCacheOnClose=True

The file called on Execute is set up as a bat with the following instructions:
START c:\pwb\ClearIECache.exe /h /c

So, at 60 seconds of inactivity, the PWB broswer is supposed to run that little bat file, and go home, which should clear the history, cookies and cache. (this is an example, btw, since 60 seconds is way too short a time) So, what happens? It works, except that the history seems to still be there, because I can still use the back button to go back to the site I was at before the inactivity happen. I don't want that. I want ALL history to be erased. I don't want the next customer to click on 'back' and see what the previous customer was doing. This seems to fix itself when I close the browser and restart it, but that messes with my ACTIVITY timer, which resets itself as soon as the application is restarted.

Help?

The Back button history is held in memory by the underlying Internet Explorer. The only way to clear the Back button is to exit PWB and have it restart.

Try these settings:

[Security]
RestartOnClose=True

[Inactivity]
InactivityAction=Exit

Any other solutions? Restarting the PC isn't a viable one.

The settings...

[Security]
RestartOnClose=True

[Inactivity]
InactivityAction=Exit

Will restart PWB, not the computer.
