I've been working for a couple days to set up a Windows XP Professional (SP3) machine to be a kiosk computer. After a great deal of digging, I found and downloaded SteadyState 2.5 - which seems to be essentially discontinued -and some KB articles on how to modify the registry so the computer will run in Kiosk mode and open a browser to a specific URL. However, after following these steps and configuring SteadyState as needed, when I log in as the standard user or the admin user I get a blank screen. Nothing ever loads even though I've used the exact syntax given in the KB article for the Shell key in the registry.
Does this not work any longer? Is there a better way to do it? It seems that "iexplore -k www.urlhere.com" is not working as intended. I've also tried "iexplore.exe -k www.urlhere.com" and the entire path just to be safe and the result is the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
