Reverts to Desktop

Post by Geo »

Hi,
We are using PWB 2.03r1 in kiosk mode with Word, Excel &
PWBstop(renamed clearcache) shell buttons. This setup seems to work
except that at times we find the pc's back to the desktop. Are there
settings we are missing and would this be fixed if we used PWB as
a shell(haven't tried yet)?
Thanks, Geo

Running in kiosk mode does not necessarily stop access to the Desktop. Kiosk mode covers the Desktop, Start Menu, and Task bar, but it does not block them. If you run MS Word from a shell button, hitting Alt-Tab will change tasks to MS Word and uncover the Desktop, Start Menu, and Task bar.

Running PWB as the shell will prevent this from happening.
