Kiosk mode still shows taskbar in foreground

hello, I have a shortcut that launches IE10 in Kiosk mode. it is pinned to the taskbar and/or a shortcut on desktop. When I start it from an icon, it opens in the foreground and covers the taskbar.
however when starting from startup folder upon an auto-logon, it opens behind the taskbar. I would like to have it open the same as when I double click the shortcut in front of the taskbar. I would prefer not to do this by auto-hiding taskbar (for
some other reasons).

It is disappointing this has never been fixed and this is a painful solution but you can use third party software. For example by using
http://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker-v4-5-with-windows-8-1-update-1-support
(Warning - you may experience unexpected side effects with this or any solution) This is a standalone executable but after running it you will have an icon in the task tray.
- choose any options you may want from the 7+ Taskbar Tweaker window, then close the window.
- right click the task tray icon and select Settings
- selecting Run at Startup will add an entry to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- close Settings
- right click the task tray icon and select Advanced Options
- right click the "disable topmost" line and select modify
- a value of 1 seems to stop windows from opening behind the taskbar.
- a value of 2 allows maximized windows to cover the taskbar (but seems to prevent some notifications from appearing even when no window is maximized)
- click Help in the Advanced Options for descriptions of the other entries.
You may still have to order the launching of your startup programs to ensure IE starts after the above has taken effect but there are many ways to do this eg

Old address still showing in contact after I edit with new address. However, it shows correct address when in edit mode. Is this a new glitch on the iPhone iOS 7?

Old address still showing in contact after I edit with new address. However, it shows correct address when in edit mode. Is this a new glitch on the iPhone iOS 7?

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

After an iPod has gone through Recovery Mode, will it still show up on Find My iPhone (even if it says offline)

I was just wondering if my iPod were to go through the Recovery Mode procedure, would it still show up on Find My iPhone as offline or would it not come up at all. Basically, what would happen?

If an iPod was restored, in FindMyiPhone the iPod:
- Will show off-line forever if you previous used FIndMyiPhone
- Will not even show up if you did not use FindMyiPhone before

I delete my browser history but websites visited still show up in Search mode. Why?

How can the browser history really be deleted so nothing shows up when a search is being done? When I follow the traditional steps to delete the browser history, it shows the history as being cleared, but any letter typed in Search mode will show any websites visited with that letter in the name... So how do I really delete the browser history, so nothing shows up under search? And yes, I know you can take the browser info off the search mode, but that doesn't clear the info. If you put the browser back on search, it's all still there.

Don't wipe your phone!!! its a pain in the back side re-installing everything back

Need Safari showing Full screen in Kiosk Mode

What we need:
150 iPads shall start a web page in Full Screen Mode and they shall not be able to leave the Webpage (Exam-situation). I can set the safari into Kiosk Mode but the Safari is not full screen. On the other hand I can create a web app, which is full screen but I cannot start the web app in Kiosk Mode. What I really need is to start a web app in Kiosk Mode. Any Hints? We really need a solution for that.
Cheers
Detlef

There is an app specifically for this with complete control of your web content and you can setup a secret admin pin which is the only way to disable the app and exit the kiosk session you setup. The app is totally free and also has very cool hardware support for expanded capabilities check it out:

Quicktime browser non- kiosk mode not working in safari 4

Hi,
The downward arrow containing save as option (non-kiosk mode) next to the quicktime bar is not showing in safari 4.
The only content that still has the arrow is Apple movie trailer website. I thought that was because Safari was in Beta but now it's out of Beta, I still don't see it.
Can somebody tell me whether that's a bug or that's intentional. That's the only reason I got quicktime pro!!!!
Sample link: http://azzedine.lakhdar.free.fr/dewplayer/Sirene.mp3
Thanks,
Ross

I have this problem too; the arrow on the right that allows saving is missing. This occurs with most files, but particularly with .mp3 files. I have some embedded .m4v files on my Web site that have the arrow and they save just fine. Of course, most of the time this turns out not to be a problem, as I can just right-click the link and select "Download linked file" or "Download linked file as . . ."

Presentations with Video in Kiosk mode on iPad

Hi
I'm looking for a way to show presentations on the iPad that have a mix of slides and embedded video, and to prevent naive users from accidentally exiting the presentation.
What I have is a Keynote presentation with couple of static introductory slides, then a series of slides with 3-5 minute videos on each, then a series of static slides at the end. I tried Keynote on the iPad but it was unintuitive to navigate even for an experienced iPad user: it is too easy to exit View mode and return to Edit mode. Someone new to the iPad often makes unclear gestures and random taps.
There was no obvious way to control the video playback either, eg when flipping backwards through the slides. I could work around this by adding a "click to play" image as the first few frames of each video...
Nice to have (but not essential) is a way to lock the user into the application, so that if they accidentally or deliberately press the Home button it will stay in the Presentation.
I've hunted for ages on the App Store but not found anything suitable. Your suggestions welcome.
Thanks for your help

Still not clear to me. It is an interesting challenge and I'd like to help figure it out. It'll be a learning for both of us. My questions are...
What is "Kiosk mode" and how is it indicated?
Do you want the video playing (and visible) behind the picture slides?
Will the picture slides be appearing and disappearing individually (i.e. there will not be more than one cast member visible at any one time)?
Are the 35 picture slides of 35 cast members with their names?
Do you have two distinct videos?
I am still of the opinion that the videos will be the only two slides in this presentation (with their respective lengths indicated) and that the pictures of the cast members will be placed on these slides as inserts and they will enter and exit using build-in and build-out parameters which will add up to the total time of the videos.
Like I said, it's a learning experience for both of us. Are you up for it?

How can I disable the telemetry prompt in kiosk mode from user preference.

We are running firefox in kiosk mode , I am using r_kiosk plugin to disable all the functionality, and update the user pref with following , but still getting the telemetry prompt is showing up.
pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", false);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false);
rpm : firefox-24.4.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64
Do we have any option to increase the frequency / manually initiative the telemetry prompt to verify after updating the user preference.

The about:config page shows toolkit.telemetry.prompted as an Integer pref with value 2 for me.
*toolkit.telemetry.enabled = true
*toolkit.telemetry.prompted = 2
*toolkit.telemetry.rejected = true

Airport Extreme saying no connection to the internet - cable modem still showing all is good. Airport Extreme light is still green.

I am having an issue where my airport extreme is saying there is no connection to the internet but still shows a green light and the status lights on the cable modem are all good. This is affecting both wired and wireless connection.
Today I had an issue where my iMac (wired) and other wireless devices could not connect to the internet but my work PC (windows 7 and also wired) was connected fine...in fact I was on a VOIP call at the time and had no issues. The only way I have of resolving this issue is to power cycle the airport by unpluging it.
Also, during this time I am unable to access the airport base station through via the airport utilities on my iMac, iPhone, or iPad.

I had the same experience yesterday when my airport extreme is green, cable modem has no problem and no internet on wired iMac or no WiFi. After talking to the cable company, there is nothing wrong with the cable modem and the line, the problem is in the System Preference>Network>Advance>DNS of the iMac. I don't know why as it seems like someone just turn my entire set up upside down. The only thing that I can relate to is that I was trying to figure out with Back To My Mac feature in iCloud between office and home.
In the Network, my DNS server somehow is 10.0.1.1 which is internal Apple IP. Take that out and you would see the actual DNS Servers from the providers.
Also when I look at the airport extreme through airport utilities, in Network setting the Router mode is Off (bridge mode). Once change this and everything is good to go.

I have a 3gs. I tried to update the ios today. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes is not recognizing. I also tried DFU mode, still nothing. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. Help.

I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.

No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

Losing network connection on T61 but still showing that I am connected

Hello All,
I am having network connection issues with my T61. On any network I connect to, my downloads will randomly stop, or videos I am watching will stop loading, same with online radio, etc...
The connection will resume after about 30 seconds of being lost but is a major pain especially if I am on a vpn and have to log back in.
My network connection never reports any problems and the icons still show that I am connected.
I have reinstalled all my drivers, ran multiple spyware/virus detection, and tried to trace my network activity with no luck.
The interesting part is that if I am using skype voice my issues disappear. It seems as though the deluge of packets sent by skype forces my connection to stay alive.
Any thoughts? (other than talk to someone on skype all day)
Edit: This happens while using wireless and LAN connection

Can't put IE Metro into full kiosk mode Win 8.1 Enterprise or set IE desktop as default in Assigned Access

I have searched everywhere for this answer. Kiosk mode/assigned access is excellent. But it appears that you can only use IE Modern (Metro) for assigned access and the problem with that is I have found no way to completely lock down IE Modern.
I can only partially lock it down but users can still get to the address bar and settings very easily.
I either need some advice on setting IE to complete lockdown or how to set IE desktop for Assigned Access.

I am afraid there is no such feature in metro IE. Maybe you could submit a feedback to
IE connect
