Moving to Win10. Eliminate Start Button functions?

Post by goleman »

I have an old Win7 PC with PWB CEF and a program called "Start Killer."
On the desktop, I have shortcuts to Microsoft Officer apps,
and 7 PWB shortcuts to specific INI files (each opening a kiosk view to a specific web site).
I like this setup, as it gives lots of options to the student, and limits access to Windows.

When I move to Win10, the "Start Killer" software has never been upgraded to work with Win10.

Is there an alternative within PWB to limit access to Start?
Does the Win10 "kiosk mode" work with multiple PWB INIs?

Is there another direction, altogether, that I'm not thinking of?

Thank you for any ideas.

To run only PWB on the computer you can use [Browser]SecureMode=True. This will prevent access to the default Windows Desktop.

HideGUI available on the Downloads page can hide various aspects of the Windows Desktop.
