kiosk commands

[DEANNE LUCK]

You might want to look at Cooler, from Fortres Grand Co.  With it, 
you can disable menu items, buttons, and dialog boxes.  It worked
really well for us on our NT 4.0 machines until we discovered that
it killed all 16-bit apps.  A new version with this bug fix should 
be out in a month or so.  

Cooler has the added benefit of letting you disable the Start button,
and it's only $495 for a building license.

I'm not affiliated with the co., but after much work I decided Cooler
is much better for us than trying to use the IE admin kit.

I have been watching the discussion of kiosk mode of Netscape for some
time.  I have also noticed that Control-N in Comm. 4.05 brings the new
Netscape window with all the menu options enabled.  Since our
environment is NT 4.0, we cannot use certain products which allow us to
customize Netscape, so the library is still using Netscape 3.04 in the
kiosk mode.  For the obvious reasons, we would like to move to the
newest version of Netscape.   I am interested if any of you have a
chance to use Mission Control Desktop 4.0 product (it has been released
about 2 months ago by Netscape and it  replaced the  Admin Kit 3.0).
This product has several  pieces, but I am mainly interested in
Configuration Editor which allows to lock Communication preferences to
prevent end users from changing them. The price of it is pretty high and
I would like to hear from you about your experience with this product.
