Anyway to hide folder locations in the URL bar

Rockhard · Post by **Rockhard** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:30 am

We currently have PWB locked down in KIOSK mode, and on some of our stations we have it setup with a URL bar.

However we also have a shellbar icon that links to the users I Drive Network Share. When they select the I drive Icon, it opens in the PWB window. It also displays the file location in the URL Bar we have for the users.

Is there anyway to keep Folder locations from displaying in the URL bar, we would prefer they only see actually URL Address not folder on the Servers.

What is the URL in the shellbar shortcut for the I Drive?

When we select our I Drive off the shellbar the URL displays as: file:///I:/

We still want to be able to view the contents of the I drive, however we don't want the location to show

If I type C:\ in the URL bar it goes to the C Drive on the Terminal Server and displays the following in the URL: file:///c:/

Is this at all possible?

Use the PWB URL filter to disallow the C: drive URL.

I added the following to the URL.txt file for PWB

+all

-file:///C:/

However it does not seem to be blocking the C Drive. Is there something I need to do more to activate the filter? Do I need to set a certain key in the INI to get it to work?

Eable the PWB URL filter by setting the following in the INI file.

[Security]
CheckURLAccess=True

Great, I think I got the filters working, the only issue I am having now is this.

On our Shellbar we have a shortcut to an Applications folder that is also located on the C Drive.

How can I block the C Drive, and allow the folder C:\PWB\Applications to be accessed?

Otherwise I was able to block the C drive using:

+res://
-C:\\

I tried adding

+C:\\PWB\Applications (before the +res:// line)
but this doesn't work.
