I am looking to disabled the F11 key in the registry. Is this possible.?

I doubt it. You want to disable F11 system wide? Or just in IE, like to lock it in kiosk mode? There might be other ways to do what you want if you can explain.

I want to disable it specifically for IE 5.5. I am also using IE as the Shell for a particular build I am doing. Thanks.

Hi, Are you making some type of Internet Kiosk or a dedicated web browser? I started looking into it, I wrote a program that locks Win9x into a kiosk mode that you can't get out of. The only problem I have yet to solve is clicking on a download link. It gives access to the C drive. I have disabled right click, Ctrl-Alt-Del, it's locked with hidden password protection. The program is VB6 with IE web browser underneath. I found no way to lock the existing IE and protect the machine in a public kiosk type of situation. How are you using IE as the shell? Does this solve the Ctrl-Alt-Del problem, since Explorer is not running? I'm curious. I'd be happy to send you the program with source code if you want it. There are a lot of expensive programs that do secure kiosks too. Regards, Ryan

Hey, I remembered Shell=, I get it. If you know VB, just make a webBrowser that covers the screen. It's a lot easier, I don't know of a way to disable all the keys in IE.

I am building a secure IE Kiosk desktop. To lock it down use NT4 policy template files (.adm). There are 4 I used: SYSTEM, INETRES, INETCORP, INETSET. They hold the settings I needed. Things you need to do: Remove local shares Setup security zones Disable Run and Run Once lists The Local Site in the Security Zone can control local access. There is also an option to stop the browser being shut down. Another security flaw you need to do is to stop the Help menus - you can get into Internet Options this way. Remove msoe.chm, iexplore.chm and msoe.txt. There is also a NoHelp registry key to be added. See Technet. I found a solution on 2000 Res Kit for Keyboard disabling - KEYREMAP.exe You also need to apply permissions to HKLM and HKCU to stop writes. Not sure which bits tho. If you want to be really secure, make sure any scripts and settings are applied at log-off also. All the settings can be found in the Group Policy Scenarios from Microsoft. Hope that helps.

Gotcha, we're going about it different ways. I'm actually working on a program that you could run on a regular PC. If you bring your laptop to a trade show and plug in a big monitor and external keyboard, we might want visitors to access some webpages without being able to get into the OS. My solution allows for jumping into and out of a secure kiosk mode, where you are creating a truly dedicated and much more secure machine. My problem is that I can't secure NT, only Win9x. Thanks for the info.
