Not sure just where to put this - mods please move if necessary.
I work for a used-car wholesaler. Several of the leasing companies for whom we process vehicles are in the process of setting up websites to sell their vehicles on-line. My boss has just asked me to set up one of our older computers for our wholesale customers to use to visit these sites and bid on these vehicles online. I guess essentially it will be a box that can access the internet through our router, but on which the user is restricted to using a browser (probably IE6) and a printer. The browser should probably be restricted as to what sites it can visit and the user should have very restricted powers.
Will be setting this machine from scratch - probably using Win 2K Pro. I know Opera has a "kiosk" mode (http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/) that seems to keep the user from doing anything else on the machine. Looks a great deal like what I need for this situation - unfortunately, one of the sites doesn't work well with Opera.
Would appreciate any suggestions as to the best way to go about this. Does anyone know if there is a similar capability in IE?
Thanks in advance.
