Can You Disable ALT+SPACE

Post by cceller »

With our current setup we are pretty secure but we have found a few smart folks who have use ALT+SPACE to minimize and reach a desktop (then get to a start menu and reach IE and get on to the open Net).

Any suggestions on the ALT+SPACE issue?

Thanks!

The Alt + Space opens the Window System Menu.

Setting the following in your INI file should prevent this.

[Browser]
...
StartMaximized=True
...
DisableMinimizeButton=True
DisableMaximizeButton=True
DisableCloseButton=True
DisableMoveWindow=True
DisableResizeWindow=True
...

You can also use HideGUI and ManageIE, both available on our Download page to prevent access to Windows and Internet Explorer.
