We have a kiosk in our building that allows users to check their email and browse the internet. The kiosk software itself is nice...you can lock down all of the key combinations that kill windows/log off/open the start menu, etc. In addition, we have locked down the user account that the kiosk software utilizes as well.
A residual issue, however, still exists. If, for instance, a user is checking their email and surfs the internet for a moment and then walks away. If a user walks up behind them and presses the backspace button on the keyboard, they can view the email account as the person left it.
Obviously, we don't live in Utopia where everyone remembers to log out of their accounts. That said, can anyone think of a way to force the system to end the browser sesson so you must reauthenticate?
We're using Windows XP and the kiosk software uses the IE browser in some fashion. We have tried tools-->internet options-->temporary internet files-settings-->"Every visit to the page" and this did not resolve the problem.
