Using the WINSelect Kiosk Mode
This setting allows administrators to create a kiosk type workstation where only specified executables
can be run. It also disables access to the Start button and Windows Taskbar. To access the Kiosk mode,
click on the Kiosk node in the left pane of the Administrative Console.
To create a Kiosk workstation, select Enable in the WINSelect Kiosk Panel.
To add an application, click Add and enter any executables that are active on the workstation. Once
added to the list, these applications are available to the workstation user. Any application with a selected
check box next to it will appear maximized on screen following a restart. Applications without a selected
check box next to it will still be available and can be accessed through the WINSelect Kiosk Panel. The
applications added to the Kiosk Panel should remain open till the settings are applied in WINSelect.
Select the Exclude automatically launched applications from Kiosk Launcher check box to exclude
certain applications from the Launcher.
Select the Maintain current size and position for application windows check box to specify the window
size and desktop placement for enabled applications. If this option is selected, the specified applications
will open immediately and the administrator can set the size and position by clicking and dragging
window frame edges.
Desktop shortcuts cannot be added to the list of applications; the executable itself
must be added.
There are three ways which a WINSelect Kiosk can function:
• One or more maximized applications: These can be selected using the Windows Taskbar.
Enable these by selecting a series of applications using the Add button and selecting the check
box next to each added application.
• Applications selected but not maximized: Applications can be accessed from the WINSelect
Kiosk Panel. Configure by selecting a series of applications using the Add button and leaving
the check boxes cleared. The user can launch these applications using the WINSelect Kiosk
Panel.
