Hi,
If you want to have a kiosk, don’t waste time doing it yourself. I implemented this solution for one customer and they were more than happy! http://thinscaletechnology.com/thinkiosk/ Cheers David From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Niehaus Sent: Friday, 15 August 2014 4:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Windows 8.1 - Block Access to Start Screen You have two options: * Assigned Access, a feature of Windows 8.1 that allows you to configure a user to run a specific app and nothing but that app. You can use this with one of the “kiosk” browsers available in the Windows Store. * For more advanced scenarios, you can use Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry. This provides more capabilities over and above what is possible using just Assigned Access.

But Ctrl+Shift+Esc would still work to access the Task Manager. But that can be disabled, too.

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?
