Hi,
this is severely off topic so please feel free to ignore it :-)
I have an intranet application that currently is accessed using a
browser, no problems there, however I have been asked if I can get rid
of the browser so that the user's are not encouraged to surf so readily.
I initially thought simple - start the browser with the correct home page
as a command line argument and turn off all the tool bars etc. so that it
looks like an xterm (dos window) and of course they can only then click
on the links we provide. It's not meant to be foolproof and a dedicated
hacker could circumvent the system, however most users won't bother.
I don't particularly want to go the F11 (full screen) route and would
like something easy to install if possible, e.g. a single .exe, Lynx
seemed a good point to start but I think that would freak out just about
all the end users :-)
Does anybody have any POLITE suggestions or any experience of something
similar and can let me in on the secret ?
I have tried google, mozilla & m$ the nearest I have come so far is IEAK.
TTFN,
Dave
