Kiosk mode of Internet Explorer should be more configurable

Hello
Kiosk mode of Internet Explorer
(switch -k) is unconfigurable
Is it possible to implement following features/switches in IE regarding kiosk mode: -kioskresettime
(returning to the home page after declared time of inactivity)
-kioskhomebutton (Home button visible while in kiosk mode)
-kiosknavbuttons (Back and Forward navigation buttons visible while in kiosk mode)

Best regards

Hi RafałRatyńskiPF,
Would you please share us the present Internet Explorer version and the Windows system version you are using ?If you are using Windows 8.1 machine ,the situation may be a little different .
" -kioskresettime (returning to the home page after declared time of inactivity)"
I haven`t found a method of this activity.
"-kioskhomebutton (Home button visible while in kiosk mode)"
Do you mean we can configure the Home page ?
We can open with "iexplore -k www.microsoft.com "to configure the home page .
-kiosknavbuttons (Back and Forward navigation buttons visible while in kiosk mode)
We can use the shortcut :
"ALT+LEFT ARROW   Back
ALT+RIGHT ARROW  Forward"
Here is a link for reference :

"-kioskaddressbar (addressbar visible in kiosk model)"
As a work around ,we can save the Internet Address and then press "Ctrl +O" to open it .
"-contextmenuoff (disables contextmenu available from right-mouse-click)?"
Please check this group policy :

    Can anybody help me?
    Best regards

    You may need to develop an application on your kiosk PC, the application could detect keyboard , touch event on the PC and navigate to home page after some time of inactivity.
    If you want to request a feature on IE, you could submit a feedbact to IE connect.

  • Flash Player disabled only in app mode of internet explorer. How to reenable? (Windows 8)

    I have a windows 8 OS. Until recently flash player ran fine in both the desktop and app versions of internet explorer. Flash player is now only enabled in the desktop version and not the app version. I have followed the steps listed in the help section of the website and they did not solve the problem. Is there a way to reenable flash player in the app mode of internet explorer?

    Wish I could help, but I never run anything from the start menu tiles. 99 times out of 100, it crashes my laptop and I have to force a hard restart.
    That garbage is the worst thing Microsoft ever came up with and they should be sued out of business for it IMHO.

  • I am not able to download Flash Player--- the error message is Internet Explorer should be closed

    I am unable to download Flash Player ===== the error message says that Internet Explorer should be closed----  how would I get to Adobe.com if Internet Explorer is not open?

    You download the installer (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and save it to disk, then close all Internet Explorer windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • I want to install silverlight, but it ask me to install internet explorer should install it?

    I'm trying to install microsoft silverlight, but once I download to file I cannot open file, When I try to get help from microsoft they ask me to download internet explorer should I download explorer, will this affect firefox? I don´t know what to do. Or does silverlight only works with internet explorer? Thank you.

    There are different Silverlight plugins for IE and for Firefox.
    I think some parts of Windows do not work correctly without Internet Explorer installed. If you install the current version of IE for Windows XP (IE 8), then it may take over as your default browser. No problem. The next time you start Firefox, you can return it to default browser status using:
    Tools > Options > Advanced, General tab, "Check Now"
    Edit: I suppose it wouldn't hurt to do a backup before installing IE8, just in case. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].

  • Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11. Difference in how adding a site works.

    I am noticing a difference in how adding a site to open in Enterprise Mode works.
    When I incorporate a XML file created by the List Manager, containing 'http://mysite/mypath'.   Enterprise mode functions for the entire site.  When I say entire site, I mean pages in virtual directories also open in Enterprise Mode.  
    This is good.   But I for the time being I would like to put it on my users to approve their sites.
    However, if I choose to not use a file and just allow the users to add sites, when they go to 'http://mysite/mypath' then go to Tools and Enterprise Mode to add the site.    We close Internet Explorer, reopen, enter the site 'http://mysite/mypath'
    opens in Enterprise Mode.   But when they navigate to pages located in virtual directories, they display in standards mode.   And would need to be added separately by going to Tools -> Enterprise Mode.
    I just want to know am I seeing this behavior correctly, or am I possibly missing a step.
    Thanks in advance for the response and feedback.

    Hi David,
    I am testing in my environment, and I will let you know if we have any result.
    Thanks for your patience.

  • Internet Explorer 11 "Enterprise Mode" do not work or do not work correctly!

    Dear community,
    Since yesterday we test the Feature "Enterprise Mode" for "Internet Explorer 11". However, we have many problems
    with this Feature. We have configured it as described by officially instruction by MS, but it does not work
    properly. Here is what we have done exactly to test this Feature:
    In Registry Key " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ Enterprise Mode " we have created the Entry " Site List " and create the string " Enable" . In the
    String "Enable" we have added no value . 
    In Case of String "Site List" , we have specified the path to the XML file , as value of this String.
    The XML file was created with the Site List Manager from Microsoft
    And now, we regocnized following Problems:
    The "Enterprise Mode" ist only "active", if the User(!) check "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools"...!
    The site list is seemingly ignored, although in the Registry "currentversion" is pulled correctly, everytime we change
    the XML File. So we think "SiteList" is configured well.
    On one of our test computer freezes Internet Explorer 11 , if you try to hook the corporate mode
    In Summary, it seems to be configured properly but it even do not work or not work correctly.
    Our goal would be:
    Enterprise Mode + access to the Site List by IE11 should be "on" by Default!
    Entrys of sitelist.XML should be filtered and shown in "Enterprise Mode" or/and the right "DocMode", as configured.
    The user should have no chance  to check on or off the"enterprise mode"
    We use "Windows 7" on all our Clients, as test Clients are also running the same operating System...
    Please reply
    Thank you very much
    Greetings!
    Ps: Please do not be angry if pronunciation or grammar do not fit well. English is not my nature language (my nature language is german)

    Hi，
    According to your description, seems the end-users can manually turn on\off the enterprise mode, If you don''t want this, you can disable the option.
    Computer(User) Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu option
    Disable this option, user will not have "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools", after that, please run gpupdate /force to update the policy, and get "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" applied again in the target system.
    After that, the enterprise mode website list get applied again, and user don't have an option to disable it.

  • Disable addressbar in Assigned Internet Explorer

    In my assigned user account I want to run Internet Explorer to display the configured start page. This works. However, the user is still able to see the address bar and can enter a new address. Does Modern IE support hiding the address bar like Desktop
    IE can do (via Registry settings)?

    This scenario has come up before and answers have varied between using third party modern browser apps and using Internet Explorer Kiosk Mode on the desktop. See:

  • Internet Explorer 9 require in Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    One of user require IE9 in windows 8.1.
    Please confirm and provide steps to how to downgrade IE from 11 to 9.
    Regards
    Rakesh Khatal
    09220726151

    I agree with Robear, it's impossible to install IE 9 in Windows 8.1, if you have encountered some issues when using IE 11, use Compatibility View list instead and test the result.
    Meanwhile, if you're using Windows 8.1 update, then you can use the Enterprise Mode to control the behavior of some websites.
    I'd like to share more links about Enterprise Mode with you for reference.

  • Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) compatibility view

    I am running more than 50 websites on a shared IIS 7.5 server in the live production environment. Recently the client machines received the Windows 8.1 update and it is giving compatibility issues to many website URLs.
    It will be not an immediate solution to fix them through code modification as many of them are third party products and will take time.
    As an intermediate solution, can I enable the compatibility mode using HTTP Headers in IIS 7.5? If that is the case what IIS config change I have to make it work in IE 11?
    Please help...

    Hi sebinjoz,
    What 's your current situation?
    Have you tried to use the Emulation tool in F12 developer tools?
    We could change the mode of Internet Explorer to version 5,7,8,9 and 10.
    For more information, please refer to the following article.

  • Internet Explorer 10 compatibility with Moss 2007.

    Hello , We are facing issue with MOSS 2007 and Internet Explorer 10.There are few out of box fields are not working at all with IE 10.
    Lookup field – with more that 20 items in it.
    Date and Time 
    These fields do not work at all.
    I know there is workaround of switching to compatibility mode, however looking for some permanent solution 
    Based on the following article I installed hotfixes of .net framework which didn’t help. Though I noticed same issues I had with IE 11 are resolve .
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/88505e15-d453-4336-995d-12c010c5ad49/internet-explorer-10-compatibility-with-sharepoint-2010-sp-2007-interface
    Thanks in advance. 

    SharePoint 2007 is fully supported with the following browsers, from Plan browser support (Office SharePoint Server):
    Level 1 Web browsers for Office SharePoint Server 2007 with SP2 are as follows:
    Windows Internet Explorer 6.x (32-bit)
    Windows Internet Explorer 7.x (32-bit)
    Windows Internet Explorer 8.x (32-bit) (includes running in compatibility mode)
    Windows Internet Explorer 9.x (32-bit) (includes running in compatibility mode)
    Level 1 Web browsers for Office SharePoint Server 2007 original release and Service Pack 1 (SP1) are as follows:
    Internet Explorer 6.x (32-bit)
    Internet Explorer 7.x (32-bit)
    As well, IE 7, 8 , and 9 64-bit, Firefox 3.x and Safari 3.x are supported with limitations. If you don't have SP2 or newer installed you could throw on your nostalgia hat and also use Firefox 1.5, Mozilla 1.7, Netscape Navigator (!) 7.2 and 8.1, or Safari
    2.0 again with limited functionality.
    I'm afraid IE 10 isn't on the list so you will need a work around. It sounds like compatibility mode works for you, how about setting up a
    Group Policy Object that sets the compatibility settings for your SharePoint URLs in all your users's browsers?

  • Thinkpad USB 3.0 Dock\Twist Internet Explorer Issue

    Hi
    I am racking my brains at this one!
    I work at a school where we have recently acquired 60 odd Thinkpad Twists. In the classrooms we have Thinkpad USB 3.0 docks connected to SmartBoards. The issue we have is a very odd one - when we connect the dock to the laptop via USB, then open Internet Explorer (10), we are presented with a white blank page - with for example at google.com as the home page. The Google search field and icon can be found further down the page. As soon as we remove the USB cable Internet Explorer works as it should i.e. no problem.
    Google Chrome does not have this problem, nor Firefox.
    We are running Windows 8 64 bit.
    Have tried the following:
    - updating the USB dock software from Lenovo's site.
    - installing the displaylink driver from displaylink.com.
    - running IE without add-ons i.e. iexplore -extoff.
    - Have seen a forum where someone suggests disabling HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections and Disabling/Enabling Enhanced Protected Mode in Internet Explorer Advanced settings.
    - resetting Internet Explorer.
    All to no avail.
    Help would be much appreciated. Not a criticial problem, but a very irritating one for our users!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem solved! It was the Smartboard drivers - just downloaded the latest from their website. All appears in proper working order now!

  • Need internet explorer of firefox on Mac

    I am going back to school and doing it online. I have done a system check with the platform my school uses and it says I must have internet explorer or firefox. Is there a mac version of these that will work? We had looked into the option of getting Parallels and windows installed but can't really afford it right now. By using either one of these is there security issues I should be aware of?

    Click here and use the Mac OS X download link. Internet Explorer should no longer be used in Mac OS X.

  • Firefox is set as default but Internet Explorer sometimes conflicts

    On the whole, firefox works well and is set as my default internet browser. Sometimes though, if someone sends me something where internet explorer has been used, I get Internet Exlorer trying to open but all that happens is that the window continually opens and closes and goes completely haywire until I shut down the whole computer. This only happens when someone sends me something where they have used I.Explorer. I avoid it all costs even though I sstill have the program on the computer obviously.

    You got to do 2 things to solve this:
    1) Open Firefox -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced
    -> System Defaults section -> put a Checkmark on "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup".
    -> Click OK.
    2) Open My Computer -> go to Control Panel -> Internet Properties -> Programs
    -> at the bottom Remove Checkmark from "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser.
    -> Click OK.
    Check if its working.
