We could like to build up the Kiosk in Windows 7 Machine. Before, in Windows XP, we can make the desktop in user's profile as read only and prevent them remove/delete desktop icon. How can I do it in Windows 7? Any GPO can be apply ?
View 1 RepliesOn my wife's Acer Aspire 5517 she has to hold down the shift key to be able to login to her account otherwise the Kiosk user comes up. It is a windows 7 OS. How do I get this Kiosk option deleted or turned off?I have tried going into the accounts to do this but Kiosk is not an option to delete. They seem to be more involved with getting the kiosk option added or deleted specifically in IE or Firefox. I also did a search on the microsoft website but that was no help either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an icon on my Win7Pro desktop that cannot be deleted, changed, or anything. I believe it was originally connected to a pdf file that I downloaded (from a reputable site) but the download was interrupted. It's file name is simply Donor.
When I try to delete it I get a flash screen that states: Could not find this item. This is no longer located (in desktop location). Verify the item's location and try again.
I cannot rename the file. It's properties shows that it is on the desktop but has 0 bytes.
I have tried about a gazillion things to no avail, including: Searched the registry for any entry that matches Donor, with nothing found. Booted into safe mode and tried from there with no luck, still won't delete. I am using full Kaspersky and a complete system sweep shows no malware, virus, etc. Found some sites that gave some script for trying to remove such files via the CMD prompt, but result always was that the file does not exist.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've seen solutions posted all over for removing the desktop icon from appearing in windows 7 when you press alt+tab, but this does not seem to aply the change to the win+tab shortcut.I added a DWORD called 'AltTabSettings' inKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer and set the value to 1, is this supposed to work for both alt+tab and win+tab?If not, anyone know how to do this? It would make win+tab (which is much prettier of an effect than alt+tab) much more effective.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to set up a Windows 7 Professional kiosk on an intranet in a small company. I require a way to set up a computer to run ONLY Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Also, I would like to have this computer automatically log in to a predetermined, non-admin account that I can bypass as an admin.Currently, I have a Windows 7 computer with a touchscreen. All the computers at the small company are connected via intranet. The company needs a computer for multiple people to have access to the product and customer information on an Excel spreadsheet.I have googled with no success. Well, actually, I did find things, But, nothing told me how I would be able to log in as the administrator to, say, perform maintenence on it. All I found was how to have a forced log in and automatically start Excel. But, they all seemed for a "Stand-alone" computer, which I believe does NOT include intranet computers.Bottom line, I need a kiosk for Excel and an automatic login that I can bypass, as needed, as an admin.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a really annoying problem with desktop icons.I use 2 monitors. 1920x1200 is the main dislay and 1600x1200 is another one for extended desktop. The thing is that I don't need it all the time so I'd like to switch the extended desktop on and off when I need it. Problem is that entering the ex. desktop just somehow changes the grid (it seems that the grid becomes more compressed in vertical direction). That means that it always messes my icons up. I don't know why do the Windows change the grid when I do not change the resolution or just anything that could possibly affect the main screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've spent4 years on one machine and have replaced it with a new one. Over the years I've developed an extensive desktop array of folders and shortcuts. Is it possible to just migrate this whole desktop over to my new machine? I know I'd have to change some of the drive letters and shortcut targets but is it possible to just transfer the folders and file(s) from the old to the new machine desktop?
