I work for a public library and would like to use PWB as an interface for our public PCs. For example:
A patron walks up to a PC and sees a screen that says welcome and prompts them to click on 1 of 2 links. One link will link to pwb with commandline options. The second link will link to an .exe file on my network.
Is this possible with PWB?
desktop config - links to .exe files

You could set up an interface which was that easy using PWB.
If you display a policy dialog before PWB loads, and use HTML dialogs you can use PWB's javascript Excute feature to launch an alternative executable.
Alternatively you could load PWB as the shell and use a HTML page on your HDD as the home page. This page could either launch another version of PWB using a different INI (and thus different security settings), or, again, another executable.
So you'd have a number of options depending on how creative you want to be, and what you want the interface to look like and behave.
