After practicing my google-fu some more I found the registry settings
for removing printers and the dell icon.  I'm not actually running IE in
kiosk mode.  My problem is there's a policy setting I checked somewhere
that's not letting my x out or hit F4.

Closing IE in kiosk mode: CTRL+W (same as ALT+F4)

For a complete list of commands: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154780

Maybe the Dell Solution Center startup program is under the Run portion
in the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I've disabled Start menu items in the past for kiosk machines, but don't
recall exactly how it was done. I'm sure Google would assist with that.

I'm setting up a policy for some training kiosks.  I must have got a
little click happy somewhere because I checked something that's keeping
me from closing any window or program that's open.  I have it auto
starting IE and loading our intranet but I can't close IE because of a
policy setting.  I've removed everything from the start menu except
printer and faxes because I can't figure out how to do that, it's not
with the rest of the start menu restriction.  But even if I open that
I'm restricted from closing it.  Also anyone know how to remove the
"dell solution center" icon from the start menu?  It's not a normal
shortcut contained anywhere in the normal trees.
Thanks
Niles
