Windows Kiosk App

Question

So, I need to build a kiosk type of application for use in an internet cafe. The app needs to load and display some options of things to do. One option is to launch IE to surf

Answer 1

you could build an ASP.NET application that runs on the local machine (XP Pro, Vista Business, 7 Pro). Then when the OS boots, you can launch IE in kiosk mode

basically you create an IE shortcut in your Startup folder, and the shortcut points to

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE” –k

an ASP.NET web application can launch local EXE's if it has the right permissions.
