As someone who thought they were hot stuff and wanted to build kiosks better than the crappy locked down XP installs with SteadyState.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR LIFE BUILDING KIOSKS. JUST DON'T. I spent literal days of time trying out jillions of GPOs and Linux distros and even learning how to hack on the kiosk mode in development builds of Chrome OS. None of it got me anywhere close to anything I had any confidence in. All solutions are built to enable users, not restrict them. Just use this and get it over with. We finally have kiosks I don't think about for months at a time. They even autoupdate. http://www.webconverger.com/ It seems stupid and small, but this is one of the biggest blessings I've ever come across. It was like a light shining down from the heavens.

I would like to prevent users from hitting the "Start" button and getting to the Start screen. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
